Flood Warning has been issued by the Environment Agency.
Flooding is expected for: Dorchester Road and Frome Lane area of Maiden Newton.
River levels have risen at the Maiden Newton river gauge as a result of heavy overnight rainfall. Consequently, flooding of property, roads and farmland is possible today. We believe there is a possibility of flooding between Maiden Newton and Dorchester. Forecast is for unsettled weather over the next few days. We expect river levels to remain high during and after this period. The Environment Agency are closely monitoring the situation and their incident response staff are checking defences and clearing weed screens.
Please stay flood aware in case further warnings or updates are issued.
