Flood alerts have been issued for parts of Suffolk due to forecast heavy rain.

Minor flooding may occur on Tuesday due to high tides. 

Areas covered in the alert include the waterfront at Pin Mill, The Strand at Wherstead and under the Orwell Bridge may also be flooded. 

The tide levels will also 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. 

The flooding will also mean the flood gates at Felixstowe seafront will be closed. 

There is also a warning for the quay at Mistley which could have water on it. 

East Suffolk Council have stated that the current series of high series spring tides has now reached its peak and should fall away over the next few days. 

It is advised to take care on coastal roads and footpaths and to not put yourself in unnecessary danger.
