A BUSY road notorious for flooding was covered in water as Storm Alex swept across Colchester.

Haven Road, in The Hythe, was swept up after a deluge of rainfall fell across Britain over the weekend.

High tides and constant rainfall meant the street was covered with water through most of Saturday

Stacey Rogers took this video of Haven Road on Saturday:

On Sunday a water main burst in nearby Whitehall Road, causing further localised flooding.

Storm Alex brought around a months worth of rain over just one weekend across Britain.

Further rain is predicted this week, but no weather warnings have been issued
