  17. Road closure after flooding risk to carspublished at 13:05 Greenwich Mean Time 4 January

    Emergency services closed Whimpwell Street in Happisburgh, Norfolk, after it became submerged.

    There is a particular risk to vehicles as the flooded road borders a duck pond, and cars could end up rolling into it.

    Stuart Herd, station manager at Great Yarmouth, said the pond was “about five to 6ft (1.8m) deep, so people would be in difficulties if the car tipped onto its side or roof”.

    He said there was “no demarcation” between the duck pond and the flooded street.

    Mr Herd said while “some people are disgruntled about having to take a different route”, locals had been “really compliant” about the road closure.
