Littlehampton flooding update
As a result of the high tide at midnight last night a major incident was declared by the Fire Service. Ferry road caravan park where there are 42 caravans on site was flooded – a number of other properties at Rope Walk were also affected. Access down Rope Walk and to West Beach Car Park is severely restricted as it is currently impassable. Please avoid the area.
A rest centre was set up at the Wave Littlehampton where residents were able to take refuge. The centre remains operational this morning.
The next high tide at midday is predicted to be lower than last night however there may be further impacts – this is being assessed with other services this morning.
