Flood alerts remain in place for several coastal towns and villages in East Suffolk.

The Environment Agency's alert, which covers the estuaries of the River Deben, River Stour and River Orwell, has been in place since August 31.

The flood alert area stretches across the Suffolk and Essex coast from Felixstowe to Clacton, including Ipswich, and the Orwell and Stour estuaries. It also covers the area from Felixstowe Ferry and Bawdsey to Ufford.

Flooding is possible during this time, and people local to the affected areas are asked to monitor local water levels and weather conditions and avoid using low-lying footpaths or entering areas prone to flooding.

A similar alert was issued for Blakeney in North Norfolk over the weekend. The village experienced serious flooding, with locals having to use kayaks to navigate the streets.

The flooding is due to rising river and tidal levels.
