Two flood alerts have been issued for parts of Norfolk. 

The Environment Agency has warned areas around the River Waveney and the River Yare are likely to flood due to a natural tide locking effect. 

A spokesman for the Government agency said tidal water moving up the rivers from Great Yarmouth and is restricting the normal drainage of the Broads river system out to sea at low tide. 

High water levels are expected in Brundall and Reedham riverside areas and at Beccles Quay. 

People are being warned to take extra care if travelling through flooded waterside roads and footpaths.
