A flood alert issued by the Environment Agency is now in force for the tidal rivers of Bure, Ant and Thurne.

Flooding is possible for parts of Wroxham, Honing, Hickling and Breydon Water.

Residents are being warned to prepare for minor flooding to riverside roads and footpaths this afternoon, and overnight in to Wednesday 28th.

It's as water levels are expected to rise gradually today following forecast rainfall, with high water levels also expected around Potter Heigham, Wroxham boat yards, and Ferry Road in Horning.

The Environment Agency say they're monitoring the situation but are not expecting things to escalate for the time being.
