A flood warning has been issued for Ashurst and Totton after heavy rain.

Downpours overnight courtesy of Storm Conall have led to levels in Bartley Water being very high, leading the Met Office to warn residents to protect their properties from flooding.

The worst affected areas are likely to be Ashurst Bridge and Woodlands Road from 10.30am.

The water levels will fall by 5pm today, the Met Office is predicting.
