Homes at risk of flooding following heavy rain

Five flood warnings have been issued across England, including two in Norfolk and one in Suffolk

Flooding is "expected" along the banks of some rivers following heavy rain on Friday, the Environment Agency has said.

It has issued five flood warnings across England, including two in Norfolk and one in Suffolk.

The agency says people living close to parts of the River Yare, River Waveney, Bawdsey Quay and Felixstowe Ferry should take action to protect themselves and their property.

More than a dozen flood alerts are in place for other parts of East Anglia - from Hunstanton in Norfolk to Southend-on-Sea in Essex.

People in those areas are being advised to “be prepared”.

On Friday, a Met Office yellow weather warning for heavy rain and strong winds was in place for most of the day.
