Flooding expected. Take action now.
The River Arun is high and rising. 35mm of rain has been recorded at Itchingfield, in only a few hours Thursday, which is a lot in a short period of time. From 06:00 05/01/2024 flooding will affect isolated mill and farm properties between Broadbridge Heath and Pallingham Quay. Water will also be extensive in fields, on rural roads and in gardens. The A272 Newbridge road near Billingshurst could be affected by flood water. Locations nearer Pulborough such as properties at Pallingham Lock will flood from 12:00 05/01/2024. Very little rain is then forecast from Friday daytime through to next week. The river should begin to fall by 11:00 05/01/2024, near Broadbridge Heath, but not until Saturday nearer Pulborough. Flood protection products are recommended to be installed in Wanford, if you have them. Our automatic sluice at Wanford is open as far as possible to help reduce the risk of flooding. We will update this message by 17:00 05/01/2024
