River Brit at Newtown, and Southgate Old Mill, Beaminster Warning no longer in force 1:43pm, Tuesday 27th January

Warning no longer in force

The Flood Warning has now been removed. However, a Flood Alert remains in force for the wider area, so flooding of roads and low lying land is still possible.
Further rainfall is forecast but no further flooding is expected.
We will continue to monitor the situation and will issue further alerts or warnings if necessary.
If you have been evacuated only return to your property once the emergency services have advised that it is safe to do so. Stay away from floodwater - it contains hidden dangers such as open manhole covers, sewage and chemicals.
