Dorothy Perkins in Marlborough High Street has flooded but is open as usual.

Store manager Maria Ward said: “At the moment the flooding is in the back of the shop in the fitting rooms so we’ve had to close them.

"I’ve logged the problem because we may come in tomorrow to a flooded shop but we will have to open, we’ll just have to do a lot of mopping.

“We’ve had this problem for years because it’s partly to do with the structure of the shop.”
