Town centre flood warning


TENBURY shopkeepers have been told to leave their premises as water continues to rise.

West Mercia police have confirmed the closure of Teme Street, Market Street and the A446 near The Crown.

Torrential rain has left the town centre almost impassable, while Berrington Road is on the verge of closure.

Rise Lane, from Tenbury to Rochford, has also been closed, along with the A456 west of Newnham Bridge.

Force Duty Inspector, Mark Hatton, said flood warnings were in place throughout the Marches.

Samantha Jones, spokesperson for Hereford & Worcester fire service, also issued a warning for residents near Kyre Brook.

"There are concerns about Kyre Brook because the water is still rising and there are houses nearby," she said.
