Flooding is expected – immediate action required

River levels are falling but remain high as a result of heavy rainfall. Flooding of roads and low lying land is expected to continue overnight into Monday 28 December. Further heavy showers are expected overnight which could cause river levels to rise again and threaten low lying properties again at Etchingham from 8am on Monday morning. We expect river levels to remain high throughout the day on Monday. Our incident response staff are actively monitoring the situation and are prepared to respond if required. Please stay aware in case further warnings are issued. We are closely monitoring the situation and will update this message by 9am on Monday 28 December, or as the situation changes.
