A flood warning which was issued for east Kent for the early hours of Sunday morning has now been removed.

The Environment Agency issued the warning yesterday afternoon but this has now been removed as yesterday's severe weather conditions ease across the county.

The warning said stormy conditions in the North Sea would lead to a surge tide affecting coast and tidal areas from Pegwell Bay to Deal including Sandwich, and Discovery Park.
