Flooding possible. Be prepared.
River levels remain high on Friday 23rd January following overnight rain. Flooding is possible as a result.
Areas most at risk include locations near the River Yeo, River Cam and River Wriggle, with low lying land and roads expected to be most affected, particularly around the Sparkford to Weston Bampfylde road and Deep Ford Lane, Chetnole.
We are closely monitoring the situation and Field Teams are out clearing debris screens and checking rivers for blockages.
Take care and avoid walking, cycling or driving through flood water. Remain aware of local water levels and weather conditions and don’t put yourself or others at risk.
