Areas of Norfolk have been placed on flood alert after a string of warnings were issued.

The Environment Agency has issued three alerts along waterways after river levels rose as a result of strong rainfall from Storm Bert. 

Areas to watch out for include the Ouse Washes in Cambridgeshire and Norfolk and along the River Bure, River Ant and River Thurne.

Locals can expect to see the rising waters disrupting low-lying land, roads and riverside areas.

A spokesman for the Environment Agency said: "River levels are starting to fall but remain high in some places with the areas most at risk being low-lying roads and riverside areas.

"These are between Horsford and Crostwick on the Spixworth Beck, and Corpusty, Saxthorpe, Itteringham, Ingworth, Aylsham and Burgh-next-Aylsham on the Bure.

"The causeway at Sutton Gault has approximately 32 centimetres of water on the road due to the uneven surface of the road with water possibly deeper in places.

"We are monitoring the situation and not expecting the situation to escalate."
