England - Lavant - Cyclist struggles on flooded village road

A cyclist struggles through flood water in the West Sussex village of Lavant. In ankle-deep water, the rider makes her way slowly along the country lane in the village, trying not to fall over or down a hidden open manhole. Lavant is a village just north of the city of Chichester. It is made up of two parts, Mid Lavant and East Lavant, and takes its name from the River Lavant which flows from East Dean. This area has been prone to flooding for several years and houses around the rising rivers can be blighted with insurance companies refusing future cover.
