South East flooding continues with more rain due

The South East is braced for more flooding on Tuesday amid a slew of flood warnings and alerts.

The Environment Agency (EA) has warned that some river levels are likely to peak on Tuesday evening with a forecast of more rainfall, which may lead to some property damage and travel disruption.

Affected areas include parts of the rivers Medway, Teise and Beult in Kent, the River Wey in Surrey and rivers Rother, Arun, Ouse and Cuckmere in Sussex.

The warnings come as the Met Office issues a yellow warning for snow across the region from 09:00 GMT until midnight on Wednesday.

As of 09:00 on Tuesday, there were eight flood warnings in place across Kent, Sussex and Surrey, meaning flooding is expected.

Dozens of flood alerts, meaning flooding is possible, are in force across the South East.

The EA has said the river levels on the River Medway between Maidstone and Yalding will peak at about 19:00 on Tuesday.

Flooding is also expected at Little Venice and Yalding, including Benover and Congelow.

Kent Fire and Rescue Service said two crews rescued a woman from her car which was stuck in floodwater on Monday evening in Tudeley near Tonbridge. She was unhurt, a fire service spokesperson said.

In East Sussex, the River Ouse's levels are falling, however a small number of properties in Barcombe, including The Anchor Inn are likely to still be affected, the EA said.

Barcombe Mills Road and Anchor Lane are likely to be "impassable" and should be avoided, the agency advised.

Water levels in the River Cuckmere at Alfriston are also falling but floods will continue to affect North Street, Willows Car Park, River Lane, the Old Clergy House, and fields and rural roads in the area.

Water levels may rise again with more rainfall and the possibility of snow forecast on Wednesday and Friday.

The A29 at Pulborough, West Sussex, is still affected by flooding.

Residents are warned to expect "extensive" flooding, especially on Lower Street and Swan Corner, Pulborough, near to Swan Bridge and Bridge Cottages, Greatham.

The Western Rother remains very high particularly at Lodsbridge near Selham, but water levels are falling.

Drivers are asked to avoid the B2138 through Fittleworth.

In Surrey, flooding has been reported in Tilford where the River Wey has burst its banks.

The Mill at Elstead was closed with bus diversions in place, according to Stagecoach.

Flood warnings were also in place for Eashing.
