Flood alert

Groundwater levels in the Salisbury Plain have risen in response to recent rainfall. Levels are expected to continue to rise and flooding of fields and roads is possible. Levels are reactive to further rainfall. Levels are forecast to continue to rise throughout the week. Flooding of roads and fields is possible. Where groundwater is near the surface, intense rainfall will lead to surface water flooding. We are closely monitoring the situation. Residents are advised to prepare property resilience measures and ensure that pumps are working where they have been installed .
