Clatterford Road, Clatterford Shute and Froglands Lane in Carisbrooke have been closed today (Monday), due to flooding and three flood warnings are in place on the Isle of Wight.
In East Cowes, there is water on the road at the top of York Avenue, near its junction with Crossways, but it is passable.

There is also surface water between Sandford and Godshill, forcing cars into the middle of the road.
There is lots of water on the network following the heavy rainfall so please take extra care.
