People living on or near the River Stour through Bournemouth, Poole and Christchurch are being urged to stay vigilant with a continuing risk of flooding.

40 residents of a mobile home park at Iford were evacuated yesterday as water levels rose, but there was no damage.

The A338 out of Bournemouth still has a lane closed near the Ashley Heath roundabout - while organisers say the Olympic Torch relay route through the county later this week may need to be changed if the downpours continue.
