Part of the path, which runs from Newport to Sandown on the Isle of Wight, has been prone to flooding.

Zoltan Pohner says he located two snakes, one of which was dead, following a police appeal.

Zoltan Pohner says he caught a python on the loose but it is not the one police were looking for.

Zoltan Pohner says he spent days trying to find the reptile when he feared it would die in the cold.

The snake was first spotted near a footpath in Oakfield Road, Blackwater.

The woman was struck by a blue electric van on Hawley Road in Blackwater.

Initially there were calls to two fires, involving gorse land, at Hawley Lake, crews say.
