More than 20 months after the flooding a report into the events of 9th May 2023 has been released and may be downloaded from: https://www.somerset.gov.uk/beaches-ports-and-flooding/flood-investigations/ Our report is "East Cam Valley" and includes North & South Cadbury as well as Blackford and Compton Pauncefoot etc. Other nearby reports maybe of interest in order to understand the complete picture. includes 5 main reports East Cam Valley Galhampton, North Cadbury, South Cadbury, Blackford, Compton Pauncefoot and Yarlington West Camel & Urgashay Central Cam Valley Queen Camel, Sparkford, Weston Bampfylde West Cam Valley Podimore, Yeovilton Pitt Valley Shepton Montague, Hadspen & Pitcombe With so many flood events across Somerset over the last 2 years we are grateful to everyone that contributed and to Somerset Council Officers and Councillors for the completed report. The report includes general (and a few specific) recommendations arising from the investigation but does not in itself determine works or provide funding. It provides a good basis for further discussion and decision making.
*AMBER Alert* triggered at 01:45am 0.60m depth. Further rain is expected until morning followed by showers so while upstream flooding around Blackford is unlikely accumulated runoff is more likely to be a problem downstream. Wind has reduced. *Informal View* Vicinity of Blackford & Upper Cam: not currently expected to see significant flooding from River and/or Runoff* Downstream River Cam & River Yeo: may see flooding from River and/or Runoff* Further bands of rain are expected overnight and tomorrow. You should take appropriate action - refer to our Emergency Preparedness document (available on request). .* You should make your own assessment and check with official sources including Environment Agency, MetOffice, Somerset Council We will not issue a further alert unless levels rise significantly
