This comes as Storm Arwen sweeps into the UK.

One resident said: "I just went to Nailsworth & every shop was closed even Morrison’s & Tesco & Coop. Hope there’s not too much food waste."

Katherine Bryan-Merrett said: "At Three stories we’ve managed to hotspot some WiFi and have the card machine working. Coffee machine down, but we have some delicious cakes and some great gifts!"

Another resident said: "Lucky we have a log burner, but had to make tea on the hob and hope that the food in the fridge and freezer still work."

Ella Berry said: "Most independents in nailsworth have remained open! we are operating through cash and sum up machine."
