The baptismal flood waters of a South Bristol roundabout are slowly receding this week - finally - after council workers began efforts to clear the blocked drains and pump the water out.
Last week, the flooding of the underpasses and footpaths across the Hartcliffe Way roundabout was so deep that a man enjoyed a full immersion baptism, conducted by local street preacher BJ Walsh, in scenes which went viral on social media around the world.
That triggered Bristol City Council into action, four months after local councillors said they had begun complaining that the drainage system inside the underpasses had broken.
