Pagham Road and nearby Lower Bognor Road, which was closed in December, was closed for safety reasons following flood damage on Thursday (January 5).

At the time of the closure a spokesperson for West Sussex County Council explained: "There has been an unprecedented rise in the ground-water table levels, with persistent, torrential downpours which have overwhelmed both the natural drainage and our highway drainage system at these locations.
