The Norfolk Broads has been placed on flood alert with a string of warnings issued.

The Environment Agency has issued three alerts along the waterways this morning, after river levels rose as a result of strong winds and high tides over the weekend.

The alerts cover much of the Broads, with the places most at risk being roads and properties near the Yare, the Waveney and the Bure, Ant and Thurne.

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

A spokesman for the Environment Agency said: "This message has been issued because some minor flooding to riverside roads and footpaths is likely today and for at least the next 24 hours

"Take care on waterside roads and footpaths, and don't put yourself in unnecessary danger. We are monitoring the situation."

The agency also removed three alerts on the north Norfolk coast as tide levels have lowered.
