    Dorset and Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service has issued a warning about flood waters around Dorset.

  3. Flooding hits New Forest village of Bransgorepublished at 14:00 GMT

    I'm on a small residential road on the edge of the New Forest - the water is about a foot deeper, but was even deeper earlier this morning.

    One householder told me he woke in the middle of the night and was "helpless" as the water came in to his home.

    Local people tell me this road does flood but they have never seen it rise so quickly and extensively as it has done today.

    Despite the difficulties people have been facing, there has been a sense of community spirit - people helping with sandbags and sharing pumps in front gardens. What people don't want is more rain.

  4. Brockenhurst College announces early closurepublished at 13:40 GMT

    Brockenhurst College announced it would shut early because of "localised flooding and ongoing public transport disruption" in the New Forest village.

    Adult classes scheduled for Tuesday evening have also be cancelled.
