Flooding update

Following heavy rain over the weekend and more forecast for the next few days, there are several flooding issues in Wiltshire and there may be further issues over the coming days. Our teams are working hard throughout the county to provide support.

Please take care on the roads, allow extra time for your journeys and drive to the conditions. Be aware of surface water and do not attempt to drive through any floodwater.

Please report any issues using MyWilts.

Flood warnings and alerts
There are several flood warnings (flooding is expected) and flood alerts (flooding is possible) in place across the county. Please keep an eye on the Government’s flood alerts and warnings webpage for the latest and encourage people to sign up for flood warnings. There is also more advice on what do when flood warnings/alerts are in place.

Our teams are working throughout the county today to resolve any issues reported to us. All gully tankers are working to clear gullies where required and we are also clearing debris, grips and gully grates.

Road closures
Please check our webpage with advice and the latest road closures. The page is kept as up to date as possible, but please be aware that this is a changing situation. There may be other roads, particularly side roads and smaller roads, that are experiencing flooding in the county.

People affected by flooding
If you are a homeowner or household affected by flooding please contact us atcustomerservices@wiltshire.gov.uk with your name, address and email address so that we can notify you if any Government support becomes available.

Waste collections
If there are any disruptions to waste collections, our waste and recycling service disruption webpage will be updated with details. If your waste/recycling hasn’t been emptied because of delays, please leave your bin out and it will be collected as soon as possible.

Further information and useful links
We’ll keep our flooding webpage as up to date as possible and will continue to post regular updates on our Facebook page. Local community Facebook pages such as the Spotted-type pages have also been regularly updated by residents throughout the day.
