The transport disruption caused by flooding at the end of last year is thought to have cost businesses in the south west more than a hundred and sixty million pounds.
That's the finding of a survey by the region's Chambers of Commerce - who're going to use it to lobby the Government for more investment in roads and railways.
Throughout the worst of the flooding, many businesses felt that the south west was effectively cut off from the rest of the UK.
The Chambers, representing hundreds of businesses, are calling for improvements to the rail line from Bristol to Cornwall, including better flood protection, and the dualling of the A30 and A303 along their entire lengths.
