Councillor Nigel Williams urged residents to avoid the main road through New Broughton in Wrexham
Heavy rain and thunderstorms have caused flash flooding in Wrexham.
North Wales Police said it has received numerous calls, with some roads left “impassable”.
Wrexham AFC also confirmed the 1864 Suite restaurant inside its Racecourse ground had to be evacuated, as the storms caused structural damage to one of its stands.
The floods come amid a Met Office yellow warning for thunderstorms in the whole of Wales, and much of England.
Wrexham AFC said all diners were successfully evacuated on safety grounds, after the structural damage to the Macron Stand resulted in a “large leak” inside the reception area.
