Actually it's a common occurrence for the Coop car park after periods of very heavy rain. The river is literally at the bottom of the car park, which is basically in the flood plain! I think it's the closest place to the river at that level; most of the nearby houses are a few feet higher up. The store itself was flooded a few months ago, and they had to junk lots of their stock. Ideally, they need to raise the car park somehow, and maybe put the store on stilts!
