West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service are on scene in Bayford Road and St Catherine’s Road, Littlehampton, to assist residents with clearing the water.
Flooding has also been pictured in South Terrace, Littlehampton.
Elsewhere in Aldwick, near Bognor, Fish Lane has once again become flooded.
In December, residents had their properties damaged during Storm Conall as the street became flooded. The source of the flooding is a pipe which becomes blocked with stones, although no authority has taken responsibility for it.

“Without Arun District Council unblocking the surface water drains, which they did yesterday, we would be totally flooded.
“I made West Sussex County Councillors aware of these issues in early 2024.
“This is the fourth time these homes have been threatened.
“It’s vital that the appropriate authorities take part in a meeting to extend the surface water outlet, which would resolve the issue.”
West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service and Southern Water have been contacted for comment.
