People living on the Norfolk Broads are being advised to expect flooding as a warning has been issued.

The warning is in place for the River Thurne including Hickling Broad for at least the next 24 hours. 

Forecast high tides at Great Yarmouth will restrict the Broads river system from draining out to sea and result in higher-than-normal water levels. 

Areas most at risk include Ludham, Repps, Bastwick, Potter Heigham, New Bridge and Hickling Heath.

The Environment Agency has said flooding to homes and businesses is likely and has advised locals to "be ready to take action". 

Three other flood alerts issued earlier in the week remain in place. 

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.

A spokesman for the Environment Agency said: "Take care on waterside roads and footpaths and don't put yourself in unnecessary danger."
