West Country Malmesbury

Work is due to start in Malmesbury today to prevent a repeat of the flooding that hit the Wiltshire town in 2012 and 2013.

A digger will be used to remove silt, debris and vegetation from the River Avon and the base of the old gasometer will be taken down to widen the river.

It's expected to take two weeks.

The West Country was a bit of a mudfest this weekend - not least at WOMAD festival in Wiltshire where this picture was taken.

We'd love to see your muddy and wet weather photos - you can email them to westcountryweather@itv.com.

Don't forget to include the location.

More than 30,000 people are expected at Charlton Park near Malmesbury for this year's WOMAD. The festival, which has been running since 1982, celebrates music, arts and dance from around the world.

The weather hasn't been great so far but Bob Crampton will bring you the forecast from the site in Wiltshire, so we hope it won't be too wet.

You can watch - and hopefully hear some great music - on ITV West at 6pm.

Wiltshire technology firm Dyson has announced a further expansion of its Malmesbury site, creating a further 3,000 jobs. The firm's founder Sir James Dyson has also pledged to invest a further billion in developing a hundred new products over the next four years.

This is in addition to a previously announced plan for a £250 million campus expansion at its Malmesbury site, creating three thousand jobs.

Sir James has also revealed that he would vote to leave the EU, saying Germany is too dominant.

Two people - at least one child - were taken to hospital with neck injuries after the bus crashed on the way to a school in Cirencester, Gloucestershire.

The plan for a multi-million pound expansion to the Dyson factory in Malmesbury has been backed by the local Council.

Malmesbury Town Council showed its support for the quarter of a billion pounds investment which would double the size of Dyson's headquarters. It could also create 3,000 new jobs.

But some people in the area are concerned it might lead to major traffic and parking problems around the town centre and in particular around Beuttel Way near the factory.
