Poole: minor flooding in West Street
Image: © Chris Downer Taken: 26 Jan 2014
Recent heavy rain, particularly overnight last night, has left a large puddle across West Street on the approach to Poole Bridge. In fact the pavement on the right is impassable, partly thanks to the railings. The wake of the car actually lessens the impression of the depth across the centre of the road. West Street is a one-way street and this car is taking the middle lane, to cross Poole Bridge, rather than the left-hand lane for the quayside or the right-hand lane to double back northwards.
