THE Environment Agency has issued another flood alert for the Eastern Yar on the Isle of Wight following more heavy rainfall.
The water level at Sandown continues to fall very slowly as it tries to recover from additional rainfall this week.
Minor impacts could continue at Golf Links Road and Moreton Common Road, Sandown, the alert says.

Ditches around Fort Holiday Park will struggle to drain, while river levels remain high.
Rainfall this morning (Friday) was predicted to have been upwards of 20mm.
The flood alert covers the Eastern Yar and tributaries from Whitwell to Bembridge.
"This additional rainfall will maintain the responsive nature of the Eastern Yar catchment, and could cause minor flooding impacts at Alverstone and Langbridge," the Environment Agency said.
"Property flooding is currently not expected. We will continue to monitor the forecast and will ensure the river remains free of any reported blockages."
Islanders are strongly advised to avoid walking or driving through flood water.
A revised flood alert update is due to appear by 3pm.
