River levels have risen above flood alert level at the Sherborne Lake river gauge as a result of Friday nights rainfall. The lake’s spillway, side weirs and siphon are running. Consequently, flooding of roads and farmland is possible. However, the weekend is forecast to be dry. We believe there is a possibility of flooding for the Sparkford to Weston Bampfylde road and Deep Ford Lane, Chetnole. Flooding of properties is not forecast at this point. We are closely monitoring the situation. Our incident response staff are clearing weed screens where necessary. Please avoid using low lying footpaths near local watercourses and plan driving routes to avoid low lying roads near rivers, which may be flooded. This message will be updated on Sunday morning, or as the situation changes
