Flooding in Woodberry Lane Ford
Warning to all residents and visitors to Rowlands Castle, the Ford in Woodberry Lane is flowing strongly, albeit only just under a foot deep on the marker.
Large high vehicles might be able to pass, but only if they cross slowly. Smaller vehicles may be easily swamped, so don’t cross the Ford if you are unsure.
To date there have been 4 vehicles break downs, 5 number plates broken off by the force of the water.
If or when the temperature drops to freezing, the road can rapidly become covered in black ice, with all the water carried along the lane by the vehicles. This has caused vehicular damage and even semi-demolition of a cottage porch in past years.
Please drive very carefully and slowly or use another route.
