Hampshire resources ready for New Year floods
Hampshire County Council has extra resources ready to respond to the further wet weather and strong winds that are forecast.
The number of highways emergency crews have been increased and tankers are ready to deal with water on the roads.
n the last week highways teams have responded to more than 1,300 incidents of fallen trees and flooded roads across Hampshire’s highway network.
The length of which equates to travelling from Lands End to John O’Groats and back three and a half times.
The County Council's Emergency Planning Team is also prepared and on standby, to support the emergency services and to assist those who need help with emergency situations that may arise as a consequence of the heavy rainfall.
