Widespread thunderstorms and rain across Somerset on Sunday brought flooding and significant disruption, mainly in West Somerset and Wellington area.
There has been flooding to homes and businesses and teams are working to assess the scope of this confirm the exact number affected. Some roads have also been damaged.
It is estimated about a month’s rain fell in a day – a source in Cotford St Luke reported 103.1mm of rain falling. Highways teams dealt with 38 incidents during Sunday.
Our teams are working with Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue and Avon and Somerset Police to establish an accurate picture of who has been affected and where as quickly as possible.
Key points
Our Civil Contingencies Unit, Flood Management and Highways teams are mobilised and will be in the affected areas throughout today and tomorrow co-ordinating the clear-up and providing a range of support. Officers in high vis will be going out to communities and meeting people across the area to assess the level of homes and businesses affected.
River levels are now falling but a flood warning remains in place for the Tone at Creech St Michael, plus a number of flood alerts remain in place for Blue Anchor, Watchet, Minehead and Porlock.
Key affected areas include Minehead, Carhampton, Dunster, Withycombe, Watchet and other parts of West Somerset, as well as the Wellington area.
Housing and adult social care teams worked together to support individuals impacted by flooding in the Wellington area last night and will be supporting individuals across West Somerset today.
Somerset Council’s Customer Contact Centre will have a dedicated team working on the response – callers will be asked to press 1 for flood issues and will be triaged and referred to CCU or partnership agencies where necessary.
Both the A39 and A396 had to be closed for part of the day due to flooding. Both were reopened by early evening of Sunday but the A39 is likely to have to close again today to allow Highways teams to carry out a clear-up.
There is further rain forecast throughout today and this week – teams will remain in response mode and residents and businesses are urged to remain vigilant and take necessary action to protect properties.
Residents and businesses who are concerned about flooding are advised to go to builder’s merchants to get sandbags – Somerset Council does not have a supply of these at depots.
Our communication team is issuing a press release alongside this briefing note summarising the situation and publicising the phone number and other important information. There will be a sustained social media campaign throughout today to help signpost people to help and support, as well as to gather key information on the situation.
Although we cannot say this event was caused by climate change, the science tells us that events like these are likely happen more frequently. The Council has an important role to play in helping communities become more resilient as well as helping tackle the causes of climate change.
Key impacts on roads yesterday attended by Highways teams to make area safe with signage/sandbags:
A39 between Holford and Kilve on sharp bend – significant flooding: Cones/sandbags and warning signs.
Mart Road Minehead – manhole covers blown out of frames
If you are aware of anyone who needs support, please advise them to call 0300 123 2224 and choose option 1 during office hours.
Visits to impacted communities will continue tomorrow and we will provide further updates.
Flooding and roads – key information
Heavy rain and flooding present a clear and present danger to drivers – road users are urged NOT to attempt to drive across flooded roads as it is not possible to estimate the depth of the water reliably.
Our Highways and Street Scene teams are out today in all affected areas assisting with the clear-up operation and assessing damage to roads.
All roads are now open but please be aware our teams will need to sweep and carry out minor repairs asap.
It’s vital to prepare for wet conditions if you have to travel and to proceed with extreme caution if you get caught in flood conditions – you can find information and advice here: Adverse weather conditions (somersetroadsafety.org)
Floodwater can contain hidden dangers such as uncovered manholes or obstacles – so never enter floodwater. We know that heavy rainfall may trigger feelings of anxiety, fear or worry, particularly for those who have been previously affected by flooding. Here are some things you can do to help reduce any feelings of anxiety caused by heavy rainfall and the activation of local flood defences:
Talk to somebody about how you are feeling, if you don’t feel able to talk to friends or family you can call Mindline – Somerset’s emotional support and mental health helpline which is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week: 01823 276 892 (local) 0800 138 1692 (freephone).
Try and do activities that help you to feel less stressed like exercising, reading, listening to music, or meditating.
Help neighbours and others in your community, look out for each other!
Follow your normal routine as much as possible.
Visit the Every Mind Matters website where you can find lots of tips and exercises to help manage anxiety.
Stay up to date on weather information and warnings. If you’re aware of the latest information, you may gain a sense of control over the situation. Check for flooding – GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
What to do during a flood
There is information to help you on what to do during a flood on the Somerset Prepared website. The key point is to always stay safe, in an immediate flood emergency or where there is a risk to life, follow the advice of the emergency services.
What to do after a flood
Following a flood there will be hazards revealed as the water clears, consider the following as you recover from the impacts of an incident.
Assume floodwater has been contaminated with sewage and avoid contact wherever possible. For further health advice when dealing with flood affected areas visit Public Health England
It’s important to stop harmful germs that might be present in floodwater from spreading to food. For advice on cleaning preparation areas after a flood visit the Food Standards Agency
Flooding presents a number of hazards to utilities in the home. Follow electric safety advice before switching back on.
Contact your insurer if you haven’t already and let them know the situation. They will advise you of the next steps to take in restoring your home and belongings.
Reporting when your property has flooded helps the Council investigate why the flood has occurred and look for possible methods to mitigate the risk of it happening again in the future.
Use the SWIM website to update your flood record/record recent flooding.
What can I do to prepare for flooding?
Thinking ahead and preparing for what the weather may bring can make a real difference in your home, business and community.
One of the first things is to check is whether your property is at risk of flooding.
We also recommend taking precautionary measures and purchasing your own sandbags in case of flooding emergencies. If sandbags are not available, you can use:
rolled-up mats or carpets
bags of garden compost
pillowcases filled with soil (don’t overfill them)
timber boards (possibly screwed to door frames, sealed with mastic)
Protect yourself from future flooding
It is advisable to plan how you’ll respond to a flood. Information and plans are available to help you plan ahead.
You can find up to date information on flood warnings by visiting the flood warnings page on the Government’s website.

Regretfully the public toilets in the car park by the library will be closed with immediate effect.
The toilets are suffering from a two-fold problem. Firstly that they have a technical fault with the flushing mechanism, it is old and worn out and we need an independent survey to suggest possible upgrades. Secondly that we need to find a new cleaner/ contractor to undertake the ongoing cleaning and light maintenance. This means the condition of the toilets is often unacceptable and without ongoing light maintenance, there is often a problem which results in the system continuously running which means we incur high water charges. We are aware of the impact of this decision and the Parish Council is actively looking to resolve both these issues but until such time as we have solutions, we are having to close them until further notice. We are sorry for any inconvenience.

Residents and businesses in Somerset are being urged to help shape the future of their county and have their say on how best to create places that put people at the heart of their design.
Somerset Council is launching a public consultation to seek opinions on a set of outline “principles” that are designed to steer new development in Somerset. These should guide developers towards creating attractive and high-quality environments, but also inclusive and accessible places for all, regardless of age, gender, mobility, or background, where people enjoy living.
The principles should lead to high quality development and offer substantial benefit to people in Somerset by improving air quality; reducing carbon footprints; creating safe and easy access to schools; and places that are more resilient to the impacts of climate change while protecting and enhancing nature and wildlife. Creating connected, safe and healthy places will also help to improve quality of life and wellbeing.
These principles will look to ensure the above benefits can be realised through new development. They will inform the development of our new Local Transport Plan, new Local Plan, and our overall approach to transport planning, development management (consideration of planning proposals) and other relevant policies and plans. These principles respond to the following vision:
Streets and spaces will be designed to be attractive, pleasant and inclusive places that accommodate all users and feel safe for use by all walking and wheeling users. They should prioritise active travel and public transport, maximising connectivity, and permeability not only within development sites, but also providing wider connectivity. Crossings and junctions should always prioritise pedestrians in residential areas. Streets and spaces should also be designed to reflect a hierarchy where movement is related to land use and character.
Why your views matter
We want to know what you want to see from new development – What makes a high quality place? Which benefits matter most to you? How can we best ensure that new development enables people to reap these benefits?
Please click through to take part in our short survey, it should only take a few minutes. The Council is keen to hear from as many people as possible – individuals, community and voluntary groups, businesses, transport providers, landowners, and city, town and parish councils as well as developers and their agents. This will help the Council to understand whether it is on the right track.
Consultation runs from Monday 4th September to Monday 16th October 2023.
Alternatively you can email responses to localplanningpolicy@somerset.gov.uk, or alternatively post a response to Planning Policy, Somerset Council, County Hall, Taunton, Somerset, TA1 4DY.

We can confirm that strike action by Somerset waste collection crews has been suspended for two weeks pending a union ballot.
Talks today between the Unite union and SUEZ recycling and recovery UK – the Council’s collections contractor – made progress and the union has agreed to ballot its membership on an improved pay offer.
The strike action that was planned to start on Wednesday (12 July) has been suspended pending the outcome of the ballot and all collections services should be running as normal.
Residents are asked to present their refuse, recycling and garden waste as usual.
There is a chance that tomorrow’s services may be compromised to some extent given the late notice of suspension of industrial action.
There is some way to go and a risk of industrial action remains, but the immediate widespread disruption to collections has been avoided.
The online garden waste form has been reinstated to take new subscriptions, renewals and requests for replacement garden waste bins. We are also taking requests for container deliveries.
In the coming days we will be working through reinstating bulk waste collections.
In view of the potential Somerset Waste strike here are the details for reporting flytipping if you see it.
If you discover fly tipped waste, please follow these simple steps but be careful – your safety is more important.:
Do not touch: fly tipped waste may be dangerous, as it can contain syringes, broken glass, asbestos, toxic chemicals or other hazardous substances.
Visually inspect it: try to determine what it is and how much there is. Take a photo if you can
Note its exact location and whether it is in or near water.
Do not disturb the site: there may be evidence that could identify and convict the culprits.
If you see someone flytipping: while staying safe, note how many people were involved; the day, date and time it occurred; and the make, colour and registration of any vehicles involved.
Unite union members working on Somerset waste collections plan to take industrial action starting from Wednesday 12 July. They intend to strike on Wednesday, Thursday Friday, each week for the four weeks from Wednesday 12 July to Friday 4 August.
We hope industrial action can be avoided and will do everything practical to minimise disruption. However, if it goes ahead large numbers of missed collections will be unavoidable across all parts of the county.
**NOTE: Industrial action could be called off as late as Tuesday 11 July 2023 – if that happens collections would operate as normal.**
We will prioritise collections of clinical waste, refuse and waste from communal properties and schools BUT this is no guarantee these collections will take place on time.
Recycling collections are much more likely to be missed as staff are redeployed. We will do our best to make sure everyone gets at least one recycling collection during the strike.
We do not plan to suspend garden waste collections but expect significant delays. We will make a decision about existing subscriptions when we know the full impact of strike action.
Throughout the strike www.somerset.gov.uk/strike will be the best place for the latest information about disruption and advice on how to manage waste when collections are missed. Please check it frequently.
We will email Somerset Councillors an update each morning during disruption and raise public awareness through various channels – media, social media, emails to parish councils etc. Online and digital information does not suit all, but given the fast-changing nature of the situation they will be valuable tools for providing timely updates.
Waste Services will be focussed on limiting disruption and all other work would be delayed. Please limit direct contact with the team to essential and urgent matters only. All 16 of Somerset’s recycling sites will be open as usual and can take almost all the materials collected at the kerbside, as well as refuse as a last resort.
Key messages for the public
Continue to put your recycling, refuse and garden waste out on your usual collection days throughout the strike period – but expect many missed collections.
If your collection of recycling or garden waste is missed, bring your boxes, bags and bin back inside and put out again on your next scheduled collection day.
If your refuse or clinical collection is missed, leave it out and report a missed collection.
Put your waste out before 7am or the night before, even if your collection usually takes place later in the day – crews may be working routes differently.
There are three extra possible collection days for residents scheduled to get recycling collections on Wednesday 12 July, Thursday 13 July, Friday 14 July and Friday 21 July.
From 17 July onwards crews will accept one additional black sack of refuse at the side of the bin. Extra recycling will also be accepted, if presented as explained below.
Please report missed refuse of clinical collections. Do not report missed recycling or garden waste collections
Service specific messages for the public
Refuse and clinical collections – When to present: put your refuse out on your usual collection day throughout the strike. From 17 July onwards crews will accept one additional black sack of refuse, placed at the side of the bin.
If missed: report a missed collection in the usual way, online using the My Waste Services feature. A crew will try and return as soon as they can, but long delays are likely.
Recycling collections
When to present: put your recycling out on your usual collection day throughout the strike. However, we expect to see high numbers of missed collections.
What to do if missed: take it in and put it out again on your next scheduled recycling day.
There are special arrangements for anyone with a recycling collection due on Wednesday 12 July, Thursday 13 July and Friday 14 July and Friday 21 July only.
If missed on Wednesday 12 July, put it out again on Monday 17 July.
If missed on Thursday 13 July, put it out again on Tuesday 18 July.
If missed on Friday 14 July and Friday 21 July put it out again on Monday 24 July.
We’ll do our best to ensure everyone gets at least one recycling collection during the strike.
Presenting extra recycling: during strike disruption only, extra recycling can be put out for collection in the following ways:
Plastics and cans in an open bag, like a bag for life, or a carboard box.
Glass needs to stay in your recycling box.
Cardboard folded and placed next to your recycling box, please keep to a minimum.
Food waste must stay in your food waste bin. If you are concerned about holding on to food waste for long periods, as a last resort you can double-bag it and put it in your refuse bin.
Garden waste collections (bin and sack)
When to present: put your garden waste bin out on your usual collection day throughout the strike period.
If strike action goes ahead it is unlikely crews will be able to collect it.
What to do if missed: bring your garden waste bin back in and put it back out again on your next scheduled collection day.
Bulky collections and container deliveries:
Both services will be suspended for the strike period. Existing bulky collection bookings will be rescheduled.
We will do our best to honour existing orders of containers, but they are likely to be delayed.
Advice on managing waste when collections are missed
This is available on the somerset.gov.uk/strike webpage. It focusses on making the most of space in recycling boxes and bags, and options for food waste if collections are missed for a prolonged period. These are not ideal solutions, but they could help some residents during a difficult time.
Potential industrial action: Update and advice
