Flood alert

River levels are still high but remaining steady on the River Piddle. Areas most at risk include tributaries between Alton Pancras and Wareham. River levels remain above the Flood Alert level at the Briantspuddle gauge. The forecast is mainly dry over the next few days, but some scattered showers are expected. We will continue to monitor the forecast and re-issue this alert if necessary. Please avoid using low lying footpaths and any bridges near local watercourses and do not attempt to walk, cycle or drive through flood water. Plan driving routes to avoid low lying roads near rivers, which may be flooded. This message will be updated by 5:00 PM on 20/03/2024, or as the situation changes.
