A SMALL lane near Sturminster Newton has been blocked in both directions by flooding.

Dark Lane in Fifehead Neville has been blocked between Crate Hill and Green Lane due to floodwater on the road.

The small lane connecting Fifehead Neville and Firehead St Quintin passes over a small stream which is susceptible to flooding.

It comes after huge winds and heavy rainfall hit the county during Storm Henk yesterday.

The storm caused chaos as trees across Dorset fell over, leaving numerous roads blocked.

Weather warnings were in place until 9pm last night, with calmer weather forecast for the coming week.
