Work to sort flooded A47 ahead of Storm Ciarán

People living close to Honingham said they had never known flooding to be so bad and that drivers diverted off the A47 had entered narrow country roads which were not suitable for vehicles travelling in both directions.

John Morse, chairman of nearby Marlingford and Colton Parish Council, said grass verges had been destroyed and roads were left covered in mud.

He said a motorcyclist came off their bike after hitting a hidden pothole.

"There's damage to folks' walls and there are lorry tracks inside people's properties," he added.

"We have had correspondence on an almost daily basis with Norfolk County Council and initially their plan is to clean the roads and then to repair the verges.

"They've said that they're waiting for more favourable weather, whenever that might happen."
