Flood alert in south Shropshire and advice to keep away from low lying footpath and roads

But river levels, although high, are expected to fall.

Flooding of roads and farmland continues.

There is flood water on low lying land and roads adjacent to the River Teme, River Onny and River Corve and their tributaries.

Although there is no heavy rainfall expected, the Environment Agency says that river levels are expected to remain high for several days and they will continue to monitor the situation.

The advice is to avoid using low lying footpaths near local watercourses and plan driving routes to avoid low lying roads near rivers, which may be flooded.
