HEAVY overnight rain is causing flooding issues for residents.

Cars are struggling to pass in St John's Road, Hadleigh, because of the standing water.

Resident Peter Sims took pictures of the issue on Saturday morning.

He said persistent flooding had been an issue on the street for some ten years.

A yellow weather warning is in place this weekend with Storm Alex expected to have an impact throughout the region.

Forecasters warned flooding was possible with high winds and consistent rain.
