Get flood warnings by phone, text or email

This alert is being issued early, in advance of possible heavy rain. 20-30mm of rain is forecast from the early hours of Saturday morning to midday on Saturday, but as much as 60-70mm is possible. If as much rain falls as predicted, flooding could be possible. From 2:00 on 19/07/2025 flooding could possibly affect gardens of Brook Street and Gosford Way and the Gosford Way Allotments. Riverside properties at Millstream Gardens, The Millrace, Clement Lane, Brightling Road and Manor Way could also be affected by flooding. If you see a blockage affecting the flow in the river, please call our incident hotline on 0800 80 70 60. We are clearing debris from our grilles on Gosford Way, to help keep the river flowing freely and reduce flood risk. We will update this message by 12:00 on 19/07/2025.

Flood alert area: Polegate Brook Street and Wannock Mill Streams.
