A flood warning has been issued for part of Suffolk as the county continues to tackle the aftermath of Storm Ciarán.
The Environment Agency has issued a warning for those living along the River Stour between Boxsted and Dedham, with Stratford St Mary and Dedham the areas most at risk.
This follows a series of 14 flood alerts that were put in place overnight for the county after Storm Ciarán battered the county on Wednesday and Thursday this week.
A flood warning means that the area is expected to flood, and is an escalation of a flood alert.
