Roads around Ipswich have flooded as Storm Chandra hit the county today.

Flood alerts have been issued across Suffolk as heavy rain leads to high river levels, but even further inland, roads have become submerged.

One area that has been hit hard includes Sproughton, near Ipswich which has flooded from the downpours.

There were forecasts of gusts of around 45mph along the Suffolk coast, from Felixstowe to Lowestoft, on Tuesday, as well as heavy rain throughout the day.
