AA Traffic sources have reported there is also surface water at Pyecombe in Mid Sussex – on A23 London Road northbound near the A273. Drivers are advised to approach with care, due to reports of water running across the road near the petrol station causing a hazard.

Meanwhile, according to Sussex Traffic Watch, Alfriston Road in East Sussex – between the south side of Alfriston Village and the Drusillas roundabout carriageway – is flooded. Motorists have been told to ‘beware of vehicles in the middle of the carriageway’ and take caution.
