Teams from Dorset & Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service and Wessex Rescue Unit were their alongside representatives from BCP Council.
On January 31, BCP Council posted to social media to say that residents have been advised they can return to the site.
The post read: “Residents of Iford Bridge Home Park and Redhill Homes Site have now been advised they can return back to their homes.”
At Iford Bridge Home Park, the council’s work included transporting people away from their flooded homes, operating a nearby rest and reception centre, and providing overnight security due to the number of empty properties.
It has been confirmed that power has been reinstated at the park and the flood warning for this area is no longer in force.
Councillor Andy Hadley, BCP Council’s cabinet member for climate response, environment and energy, said: “Ground across the across BCP and upstream in Dorset, West Hants and Wiltshire remains very wet, and further rain forecast for the next few days may exacerbate the current flooding issues that the council teams are still dealing with.
“It is important people take care when out and about this weekend. Those travelling by car, motorbike or bicycle should avoid flooded areas and not go directly through flood water or mud.
“Local bus and train services may be affected; residents should check directly with the service provider for status updates, and it’s worth parents allowing additional time for journeys to school on Monday, as travel disruption is possible.
“People out for a walk this weekend should keep well clear of cliff edges and bases and exercise caution when walking near large bodies of water such as rivers and lakes; fast flowing or deep floodwater can cause a danger to life.
“Our teams remain on standby and well prepared to respond to any issues, helping to keep you safe.”
The council added that Storm Chandra brought ‘intense’ rainfall and rises in river levels, and in several areas, river levels met or exceeded their highest records.
On Wednesday, it was stated that their highways teams worked through the night responding to 153 reports of flooding on the road network across the area.
As well as Iford Bridge Home Park, the residents of Beaulieu Garden Park Home Site and Redhill and Wheatplot Homes Sites have been advised they can now return to their homes.
