A trampoline has been blown dangerously close to a main road near Reading, as Storm Bert continues to cause disruption across Berkshire and the UK. 

Storm Bert has brought more than 80 percent of November’s average monthly rainfall in less than 48 hours, with a yellow weather warning in place across Berkshire. 

A resident has filmed what appears to be a tattered trampoline stuck against a fence on the Observer Way road, which connects Shinfield and Aborfield Green. 

People across the country are being advised by local authorities that they should tie down loose garden furniture such as trampolines, which can be blown about in strong winds.
