Environment Agency advice issued
Tide locking where high tides restrict normal drainage of the river out to sea this afternoon and overnight into tomorrow, may lead to flooding. Flooding is possible today, 27.03.26 and tomorrow, 28.03.26 We expect to see high water levels around Potter Heigham, Wroxham boat yards and Ferry Road in Horning. River levels will remain high over the next couple of days due to tide locking, which is where tides restrict normal drainage of the river out to the sea. We are monitoring rainfall and river levels. Take care and avoid walking, cycling or driving through flood water. Avoid using low lying
