Part of Matchams Lane closed due to flooding in Christchurch

Flooding is causing issues around the area again this morning including in Christchurch where Matchams Lane is inaccessible.

It’s closed near the airport end between Moors Close and the Hurn Stores.

Dorset and Wiltshire Fire Service posted: “We currently have crews in attendance at Matchams Lane in #Christchurch where the road will be being shut due to flooding.

“Please make sure you adjust your routes accordingly this morning so you are not delayed or caught in flood water.”

The A35 is congested around the Bakers Arms roundabout at Upton due to flooding on all approaches, and Magna Road is still flooded.

The B3072 Verwood to Three Legged Cross road is flooded at the junction with Potterne Way, with reports of a stranded vehicle.

Flooding has been reported between Verwood and Alderholt on Batterley Drove and Cranborne Road.

In Three Legged Cross, parts of the Woolsbridge Industrial Estate are closed with stranded vehicles stuck in the water. Dorset and Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service is currently in attendance.
