Flood Barrier installed




After events on Wednesday morning and with another approaching storm due on Friday a decision was made to put a temporary flood barrier to protect properties in the lower high street.

Strong gale force winds are due and with a high tide there could be overtopping of waves.

Partner agencies including County , Town and District Councils, Environment Agency , HM Coastguard , DWFRS and Dorset Police have worked together to get the barrier installed.

During high water on Friday , Coastguard Officers will be on duty to monitor the barrier and ensure public safety.

Please take care and keep clear from any flooded areas.
