Thanks to our reader Sarah Stewart for sending in this video of the flooding at Priory Meadow this morning. Apparently an eel was spotted in front of Jempsons in town! Hastings Borough Council said “East Sussex Fire and Rescue have done a great job pumping out affected properties, and UK Power Networks are working to reconnect anyone without power. Anyone who needs housing support because of the flooding, please call 01424 451100 if it is before 4.45pm, or call 01424 451999 after 4.45pm. ⚠️”
