More flooding expected next week

Sat, 23 Jan 2016

People are being warned to expect more flooding next week.

The Met Office has predicted heavy rain on Tuesday and Wednesday - with the ground already saturated it's feared this will create more areas of standing water.

The Island was hit by flooding yesterday - between Thursday night and Friday morning 110mm of rain fell at the Mountain Box; 30mm was in the two hour spell between 4am and 6am.

Sandbags are available at civic amenity sites with residents asked to take only what they need.
