A Southampton supermarket has been forced to close after suffering flooding due to this morning’s heavy rainfall.
Staff at Sainsbury’s in Redcar Street, Shirley, have been forced to turn customers away after the shop was due to open at 10am this morning.
The Daily Echo understands the store suffered water damage to its stock room.
No-one was available for comment from the store.
One shopper Edward Goodall, of Shirley, said: “My wife Hazel went to the shop this morning and they were turning everyone away.
“They have probably lost a lot of stock.”
