She said: “Sinn Féin reps are dealing with flooding right across the Borough including on main roads.”

The Drumgask Road in Craigavon is also heavily flooded.

Ulster Unionist Cllr Gareth Wilson said: “Please drive with extreme care a lot of water running off fields on to roads - Hamiltonsbawn/Markethill Road particularly bad and many other roads.”
