A flood alert is in force for the Eastern Yar but things are improving, with the river level falling and a much drier week forecast for the Isle of Wight.
The Environment Agency says that the water level on the Eastern Yar remains higher than normal, but at Alverstone the river is falling at a rate of 2cm an hour.
Minor floods are still affecting roads, including Golf Links Road and Morton Common Road, as well as cycle tracks, footpaths and gardens. This will continue throughout the Yar Valley today.
At Sandown, ditches around Fort Holiday Park will struggle to drain while river levels are high. However, from tomorrow a period of high pressure builds and the weather is expected to remain dry for the next 4 days. This will give the river a chance to recover, but levels are unlikely to return to normal until later this week.
Islanders are still being urged to avoid walking or driving through flood water.
Officials say they will continue to monitor the river levels and weather forecast, but expect to be able to remove the flood alert by tomorrow afternoon.
Nice to hear no rain for the next 4 days, Thank you.
When is the next Hosepipe Ban ?
You may mock, but the waterboard keeps putting ad’s on the radio about saving water still.
Yet our Government keep allowing in unchecked newcomers to the UK, who will all collectively use thousands of litres of water daily making the problem worse as each year goes by.
Even Tory hard line voters have had enough of the amount arriving, and are turning against the Tories like never before.
As with Brexit, many voted for such as they were sick of seeing newcomers filling our country, but as the vote went against what the ‘establishment’ wanted, after project fear never worked, then they are now doing nothing to prevent the flow, so as to eventually tell us that it is worse because we voted Brexit, and will try to do a soft Brexit
Because we are no longer part of the European Union the French can just pass illegal immigrants on to us and we have no recourse.
It’s no coincidence that there has been a massive increase in illegal immigrantion since Brexit.
So all the zenerphobic people who voted for Brexit,have made thier bed and will now have to lie in it.
