Floods on the River Cuckmere as seen from Exceat Bridge
Taken from the bridge at Exceat, this photo shows flooding on the estuary of the River Cuckmere. The floods have inundated farmers' fields with salt water and businesses such as Buzz Active's paddle sports have had to close. Due to cost cutting measures and a plan "to let the area go back to its natural state" the Environment Agency has stopped dredging shingle from the mouth of the river and it is this which is thought to be the cause of the problem.
