Update as at 10:30 on Monday 30 April:
- I am pleased to report that no houses were flooded and all village drainage systems worked as planned.
- Although Water Lane was flooded it worked as designed carrying excess water quickly down the lane and into the Dumble at the far end where there is more capacity.
- The water flow control board at the brick weir was swept away due to the force of the water. Robin is in the process of organising a replacement..
- My thanks go to Robin & Team for their diligence in a difficult situation.
