Flood control works in the Somerset Levels started

September 29, 2014 at 09:24 clock Updated BST

Much of the Somerset Levels were flooded by bad weather in the winter of last year.

The villages were separated by water and many had to leave their homes.

On Monday, the work begins to lift parts of a highway in the area of flood protection in the future.
