One Heacham local, Jo Jutsum, said the car park at Heacham Group Practice on Station Road was completely flooded, while she saw water seeping through the air bricks of the Fox and Hounds pub further down the road.

She said: "This is the worst I've ever seen it, we had some work done on the road and they closed the road for three weeks to try and fix it.

"But this is the worst it's been since I've been here for about eight years now.

"The fire brigade have closed the road and are pumping out the surgery car park, that's never happened before.

"It's the Fox and Hounds pub I feel sorry for, the water there is way over the footpath and it's now seeping into the bricks of the building.

"It's horrendous this time.
