Ernie Clark. Hilperton Division, Wiltshire Council.

Many services are combining to try to keep Wiltshire safe.

The council emergency planning incident response room is still operating. This room will remain in operation until the flooding risk has substantially reduced. A rota of staff 24/7 is in place to provide cover.

Weather Update.

Tuesday will be much less windy with fewer showers 5-10mm. There are ongoing residual flooding issues due to the recent heavy rain in parts of Wiltshire – from ground water and also high level rivers – and these are expected to continue for the next 5 days.

For Wednesday/Thursday/Friday the forecast is very uncertain at this stage – but currently the forecast is for a risk of rain at times but also with some lengthy dry spells.

Due to the very disturbed weather pattern – the forecast timings, intensity and duration of the spells of wet and windy weather are likely to change.
