Littlehampton and Newhaven Grapple with Rising Waters Flood Emergency

Littlehampton is currently grappling with a severe flooding crisis as areas around Rope Walk and Ferry Road are submerged, a situation exacerbated by the River Arun bursting its banks. The West Sussex Fire & Rescue Service (WSFRS) is spearheading rescue operations, offering assistance to those affected and striving to control the flood’s impact.

In these challenging times, fire crews are actively engaged in pumping out water in an effort to safeguard residences and businesses in the flood-hit zones. A WSFRS spokesperson has relayed vital information and guidance for the community, emphasizing the urgency of staying indoors if it is safe and moving to upper levels to avoid the floodwaters.
