Dorset County Council and the Environment Agency are arranging a number of flood drop-in sessions at locations in West Dorset.

The next session will be held on Wednesday, August 8 at Bridport Town Council Offices, Mountfield, Bridport from 2pm to 6.30pm.

The events are an opportunity for residents and local businesses that have either been affected by the flooding or have ongoing concerns about flooding, to share their views and experiences with officers from the relevant authority.

It will also give the county council and Environment Agency the opportunity to gather information about the flooding incident. People who attend the open sessions are invited to bring along any photographs, video clips or notes taken during the event.

This is a chance for residents not only from the surgery locations but also from the surrounding areas to talk to officers.

The information will also help us to build a picture of events and what could possibly be done to be better prepared in future.

Further events are being organised in Maiden Newton , Dorchester , Charmouth and Weymouth. Dates will be announced when venues are confirmed.
