Flood Warning: River Piddle and tributaries

River levels remain high and have responded to recent rainfall. Increased ground water is keeping levels high in some areas.

Flooding of roads and low lying land is possible, property flooding is not expected.

Flooding is forecast to affect locations near the River Piddle, with low lying land and roads expected to be most affected, particularly around tributaries between Alton Pancras and Wareham.

The forecast is for unsettled conditions but lower total rainfall over the next few days.

We are monitoring rainfall and river levels and checking rivers for blockages.

Avoid using low lying footpaths and any bridges near local watercourses.

Please do not drive through floodwater as bow waves may affect adjacent properties.

Stay away from floodwater - it contains hidden dangers such as open manhole covers, sewage and chemicals.
