Storm Ciara has arrived in West Lothian and is causing havoc on the roads.
The heavy rain and strong winds over the weekend caused widespread flooding and West Lothian Council has reported several road closures.
A West Lothian Council spokesperson said: “The impact of Storm Ciara led to a number of a roads in West Lothian being closed due to flooding over the weekend.
“These were: Roman Camp Cottages Road, Broxburn; the B7015 Gavieside to Simpson Parkway in Livingston; the A800 from A801 junction to Woodthorpe Gardens in Bathgate; and Dedridge North Road in Livingston town centre.
“Roman Camp Cottages Road was re-opened on Sunday morning, whilst the B7015 and A800 will remain closed until the water levels in the adjacent fields recede.
“Scottish Water have been asked to investigate the issue at Dedridge North Road, due to a suspected blockage in their drainage system.
“A fallen tree also temporarily blocked the C17 Hill Road between Bathgate and Linlithgow on Sunday afternoon.
“Council staff attended each incident to assess the situation and take appropriate steps.”
With snow and winds to follow in the coming days a Met Office yellow weather warning will remain in place until Wednesday.
