The update comes after the centre was flooded for the second time this year yesterday, having been evacuated in January after a similar spate of floods.
Water company Southern Water has explained that the flooding is the result of a blocked surface pipe and the weekend’s heavy rain.
Eager to keep members of the public safe, Hastings Borough Council and East Sussex Fire and Rescue have both warned residents to steer clear of the flood water as much as possible.
