A Norfolk road dubbed "the most flooded in Britain", has broken records after being submerged for 12 weeks this winter.

The A1101 Welney Wash Road was closed this morning just days after reopening - marking a whopping 86 days underwater.

The closures which have run consistently throughout the winter, has angered locals forcing them to take a lengthy 22-mile diversion route.

Locals have called for the county council to take urgent action.

In a statement, Norfolk County Council said: "The fact is that the causes of flooding along Welney Wash Road are complex, and a full set of mitigation measures would cost as much as £58 million.

"We're looking into how such work could be funded, including via government support, but sadly there are no quick fixes for this issue."
