Flood alert issued for Rivers Deben and Lark which could affect Debenham, Ufford, Wickham Market and other areas

A flood alert has been issued for two Suffolk rivers.

East Suffolk Council retweeted the Environment Agency’s notice for the Rivers Deben and Lark today.

It said some minor flooding to low lying land, roads and riverside areas is likely, with the river levels responding to recent rainfall.

On the Deben, areas from Debenham to Ufford are at risk, including Framsden, Earl Soham, Easton, Bromeswell Glevering and Wickham Market.

For the lark, residents in Witnesham, Tuddenham St Martin, Playford and Grundisburgh should be aware.

The Environment Agency said it is not expecting the situation to escalate or that any further warnings would be issued.

The dry conditions forecast for today should allow the river levels to return to normal.

The agency advised people to take care on riverside footpaths and to not get into unneccessary danger.
