More homes are at risk of further flooding, with forecasters saying more heavy rain and wind are on the way.

Guy Jefferson, Network Operations Director for Scottish Power; Frank Bird, Emergency Planning Officer for the Highways Agency; Terry Marsh from the centre for Ecology & Hydrology; the President of the Chief Fire Officers Association, Paul Fuller; and Alex Tribick from the Spelthorne Business Forum that represents 700 businesses in Surrey, spoke to Nicky Campbell and Rachel Burden on 5 live Breakfast.
