Rivers are set to burst their banks as several flood alerts remain in place around Suffolk.

The Environment Agency has reissued alerts for several areas in Suffolk as further rainfall keeps river levels high. 

This follows several days of poor weather across the weekend, with rivers very responsive to any further rain. 

Six flood alerts were in place on Monday, and the Environment Agency has been monitoring the situation closely and updating as the situation progresses.

An alert is in place for the River Stour from Sudbury to Stratford St Mary and Dedham.

Areas most at risk are low-lying roads and riverside areas.

Newmarket High Street could also see some flooding as groundwater continues to gather.

Areas also at risk are those around the Little Ouse River between Rickinghall and Hockwold, including The Black Bourn.

The River Dove around Eye, Finningham and Fornham could also burst its banks, and the River Waveney between Redgrave and Lopham Fen and Bungay.

The Environment Agency warns people to take care on riverside footpaths and to avoid putting themselves in any unnecessary danger.
