Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The flood waters are receding and 'returning to normal', according to Andrew Pearce an Area Manager at the Environment Agency.
Mr Pearce said: "Gradually things are starting to return to normal. It's still quite hazardous, flood water should be avoided, residents going back into their properties should take care and follow our advice and guidance."
"But generally speaking, things are starting to improve although the weather forecast is unsettled for the next few days, so we need to remain vigilant."
He went on to say: "It's about looking at conditions locally and obviously the Environmental Agency will continue to monitor the rivers throughout the South East, throughout the country over the ext weeks or so."
