"When people drive through it it creates a wave and the water goes directly into our cellar."

The couple had to move their furniture and hoped things would improve.

Councillor Richard John, who represents Mitchell Troy and Trellech near Monmouth, said he is concerned about potential flooding.

He said: “I’m particularly worried about the river Trothy, it seems to be rising about 20 centimetres every quarter of an hour and main roads have been cut off leading to villages in my area.”

At around 4.30pm, Cllr Jayne McKenna posted a photograph of the River Trothy which had burst its banks, flooding the road.
