River levels in Hellingly have fallen from their overnight peak, but are still a little higher than normal. River levels in Alfriston are still high, and slowly rising, but should begin to stabilise by lunchtime. Minor impact flooding, with shallow depths will continue to affect fields, rural roads and gardens near to Station Road and Chuch Lane Hellingly, and Willows car park, River Lane, North Street, Old Clergy House and Deans Place Hotel in Alfriston. Saturday morning’s light rain will clear by 11:00. River levels in Hellingly will rise again, but not as high as last night, and begin to fall by 17:00 29/2/2020. A similar fall and later rise is probable in Alfriston too. Only isolated showers are forecast for the rest of the weekend, which will allow river levels to return to nearer normal by Monday 2/3/2020. Please plan to avoid driving through routes susceptible to flooding. We continue to monitor the levels and forecast. This message will be updated by 11:00 1/3/2020
