A number of roads in Suffolk remain impassable today due to high flood water left by last week's major incident.
Storm Babet brought torrential rain for much of Friday and the weekend, leaving communities stricken by waist-high flooding and major roads completely blocked.
Fourteen flood warnings and alerts continue into this week, with locals urged to be ready to take action and to expect further disruption.

Coddenham Road and Lion Lane, in Needham Market, remain closed both ways between Flordon Road and Ipswich Road due to flooding. The road beneath the bridge has yet to drain, potentially causing dangerous conditions for motorists.
Don’t risk driving through flood water.
