From 09:00 on 27/11/2024 flooding could affect property at Slaughter Bridge on the Coolham road, as well as isolated farm buildings, fields and rural roads between Coolham and Henfield. It is possible water may approach gardens of Church Close, Shipley. Almost no rainfall is predicted Wednesday afternoon, through to the weekend.
