Essex Highways crews say they responded promptly to reports of flooding across the county and to clear affected areas and prevent further disruptions.

One team was called to Mersea Road (B1025) at the junction leading to the Silver Oyster Pub in Berechurch.

The flooding was reportedly caused by a blockage in the drains, believed to be from a bottle or similarly sized object.

The crew quickly jetted and cleared the drains, resolving the issue before moving on to another site nearby.

Residents across Essex are urged to report flooding problems via the official Essex Highways portal at https://bit.ly/EHtell-us to.
