Flooded road is a big problem
People tell me this has been happening for years, so does West Sussex County Council highways department know of this?
And if they do, why has nothing been done?
I am also concerned that there were no flood warning signs in either direction to warn motorists of the hazard ahead, the last time it was flooded.

Hide AdOn closer inspection I could see there was a drainage system in place, however, the amount of surface water suggests these drains are either inadequate for the job or are damaged or blocked.
Another point is that, while this flooding exists, we cannot provide a proper service to our visitors or residents, as the flooding takes over the parking spaces in this area, including the disabled bays.
I am in the process of writing to West Sussex County Council and will be awaiting its response.
