WEATHER: Colleague on way home to Flintshire has just pulled over to ring us. He'd overtaken a prison van travelling eastbound on the A55 and probably taking remand prisoners back to custody. Normally, they go three or four hours earlier. Possibly delayed due to diversion away from flooded roads. One vehicle of many!

A55 UPDATE: Police can confirm that three “Rest Centres” have been opened to offer shelter and refreshments to those who are currently stranded and unable to complete their journey and others effected by the flooding.
They are: Llandudno Junction Leisure Centre, (Opposite Cineworld complex) LL31 9XY
Caernarfon Leisure Centre, Ffordd Bethel, LL55 1DU
Ysgol Friars (School) Bangor, Lon y Bryn, LL57 2LN

WEATHER: Managed to get through to N Wales fire control who are understandably busy. Firefighters are pumping out four inches of water from four terraced houses in Craig y Don in Amlwch. Pumping water from their front gardens too to try to clear it away as best they can.

A55 UPDATE: Police say the Multi Agency response to the severe weather conditions currently affecting the A55 Dual carriageway at Bangor is being hampered by the actions of inconsiderate motorists.
"Some motorists are ignoring unattended diversion signs on parts of the A5, A55 and A470 which are not only putting the lives of the motorists at risks but also those of the Emergency Services who are having to divert resources away from priority calls to deal with avoidable incidents."

ROADS: B4411 Gwynedd - The carriageway is just passable on B4411 at the Rhoslan junction. Floods also affecting Road near Llanystumdwy.

WEATHER: Just back from Llandudno Junction leisure centre where there are only emergency services workers there at present. No arrivals from the A55 or indeed anywhere else. Conwy Council say they have open the centre at the police's request just in case.

SIGNING OFF: I'm off home, thankfully eastbound. Hope everyone gets home safely.

WEATHER: Not in Llandudno Junction from what I saw earlier, unless perhaps it picks up overnight.

TRAFFIC: Good morning. I'll be updating throughout the morning and afternoon. A55 - one lane now open in either direction after flooding between Talybont/Bangor with 40mph speed limit. Warnings still in place to only drive if absolutely necessary

TRAFFIC: A55 partially re-opened at 2.45am this morning at Talybont and Bangor

CORRECTION: Sorry have amended spelling of Tal y Bont to Talybont - my mistake - need another coffee

TRAFFIC: No reports of any major traffic disruption in the three north east counties Wrexham, Flintshire and Denbigshire at the moment.

FLOODS: Environment Agency flood alerts are in place on areas including the river Clwyd from Clocaenog to Rhuddlan, around the river Conwy from Dolwyddelan to Conwy, the rivers of north west Wales, from Abergwyngregyn to Aberdaron and rivers across Anglesey.

SIGNING IN: Morning. We'll be keeping you up to date on the latest news throughout the day, in particular, what's happening on our roads and rail.

FLOODS: Environment Agency Wales now reporting flood warnings on just two areas: 1. Around the rivers of north west Wales, from Abergwyngregyn to Aberdaron. 2. Rivers across the whole of Anglesey.

A55: Police say further examinations of the road surface will take place today, and that's why one lane is closed both ways and there are speed restrictions in place.
