Despite the wet weather today, nearly two million homes will be banned from using hosepipes from midnight tonight, with the prospect of a £1,000 fine if people flout the rules.

The ban covers many parts of our region and is the first in the east for 20 years. It comes after the driest year since 1921. ITV Anglia looks at how the ban affects us.
