Photo shows flooding on Lewes bridge amid reports of blocked drains around town

A photo was submitted to this newspaper showing flooding on a bridge in Lewes on Wednesday, January 21.

The picture, taken by Rob Dyke, shows cars driving through a huge puddle on the Station Road bridge near Lewes Railway Station, following heavy rain the town.

Rob said: “It rained, and, surprise, the bridge is flooded! From my short walk this morning I’d estimate that 3/4 of the drains in the town are blocked. Fisher Street, Offham Road, The Avenue, Rotten Row and Southover Road all have blocked drains.”

The AA Traffic News live map at www.theaa.com/route-planner/traffic-news showed very slow moving traffic on the bridge at about 12.40pm.
