An east Suffolk road prone to flooding has been closed again.

The B1127 Potters Bridge between Wrentham and Southwold remains underwater after the county was battered with heavy rain. 

On Monday morning the route was covered with around 173mm of water.

Suffolk Highways has confirmed the road has been closed. 

A spokesman said: "The road has been closed as requested by Suffolk police following reports of the road being impassable.

"We will reopen to the road as soon as possible, when the water recedes."

Potters Bridge often becomes impassable when water levels in nearby Eastern Broad become to high and cause flooding on the road. 

A meeting took place in January between representatives of Suffolk County Council's highways team and the Environment Agency and a series of measures were agreed upon. 

The measures included implementing better road signage, clearing and jetting drains and cutting channels into the verge to enable water to drain away.

Drivers are being warned to find alternative routes while the road is closed.
