Flood alerts have been issued for parts of Suffolk as water levels are expected to be higher than normal.

The Environment Agency has said tides are likely to be above normal levels between 12.45pm and 2.45pm on Wednesday.

A spokesman for the Environment Agency said: "Tides are expected to be higher than usual, due to the forecast weather conditions during spring tides.

"The flood gates at Felixstowe seafront will be closed and the waterfront at Pin Mill, and The Strand at Wherstead under the Orwell Bridge may be flooded.

"Tide levels will be high around the boat yard in Felixstowe Ferry hamlet at the end of Ferry Road, and along riverside areas in Woodbridge and Waldringfield, as well as in surrounding marshland.

"Take care on coastal roads and footpaths, and don't put yourself in unnecessary danger."
