Emergency services respond to overnight flooding and fallen trees in West Sussex

Mims Davies, MP for Mid Sussex, thanked West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service crews for their assistance after 'flash-flooding' in Burgess Hill.

She wrote on Twitter: "Scenes of flash flooding again in Burgess Hill last night.

"We've recently done a survey for updates on the areas affected, as it’s so frustrating for lots of residents.

"Many people helping each other out & thanks to all local services who assisted especially @WestSussexFire."

Meanwhile, 'multiple properties' were affected by flooding in Northchapel, near Petworth.

Crews from Midhurst and Arundel worked for nearly four hours to 'reduce water levels and make properties safe'.
