A SOMERSET town flooded again this weekend - less than a month after the last floods.
As the Met Office issued a yellow weather warning for thunderstorms, Chard residents were given sandbags in preparation.
The town's Guildhall was opened and councillors helped to hand out more than 400 sandbags.

Mayor of Chard, Councillor Jason Baker, said the flood was 'not as severe' as three weeks ago, but many of the problems have not been resolved.
"It seems the same drains are blocked as three weeks ago, and the problems do not seem to of been resolved," he said.
"I was contacted by the district council on Saturday evening and asked to give out sandbags to help local residents and gave out over 400 sand bags between 9pm and midnight and further sand bags on Sunday morning.

"It seems to me everyone is trying to pass off the problem, I have contacted the leader of Somerset County Council and asked for a meeting to get this issue resolved.
"I feel that we need to unblock all of the drains and survey the whole system and make any repairs as a matter of urgency and then figure out after who owns which pieces of infrastructure after, the important thing is to make sure residents and business are not flooded again.”
Somerset County Council has been contacted for comment.
