A flood alert has been issued for Eastleigh by the Environment Agency.

This comes after 'months of prolonged wet weather', which the agency said has led to water levels in the River Itchen being high.

Bishopstoke Road Playing Field is affected, along with the top of Duttons Lane and Withy Meadows.

But there is good news - as the Environment Agency said homes should not be affected.

The warning area extends as far south as the boundary with the M27, just north of Southampton, and the M3 near Twyford and Compton.

Their update on the alert said: "Without further heavy rainfall river levels should continue to fall into next week.

"Flood impacts to low lying land will continue.

"There is no current risk of property flooding.

"Our operational staff are out keeping the river free of reported blockages."
