Flood warning

The River Ouse is high and rising. Nearly a month's rain (50mm) has been recorded at Ardingly on Monday. From 16:30 (06/05/2024) flooding will affect properties at Bridge Cottage and Dean's Water Mill at Lindfield Bridge on the B2028 near Lindfield. Flood water will also be extensive through fields, and affect rural roads and gardens. Rain will finally clear the area from 20:00 (06/05/2024), and high pressure, bringing settled and dry weather, is then forecast for the next five days. The river should begin to fall by 21:00 (06/05/2024), and should fall nearer to normal by 10:00 (07/05/2024). Riverside properties at Dean's Water Mill and Lindfield Bridge are encouraged to install flood protection products if you have them, and take steps to reduce the impact of flooding. We are operating our structures at Pimms Lock to help keep the river flowing freely and reduce flood risk. We will update this message by 12:00 on 07/05/2024.
