This footage shows the moment a woman hopped in a kayak to row down a busy industrial estate flooded ROAD.
Haven Road, in Colchester, Essex, is frequently left under as much as one metre of water, as high spring tides bubble up through the storm drains - leaving many cars unable to pass along the road.
