The River Severn in Bewdley remains high

Storm Babet has brought localised flooding to the county after a month's worth of rain in a single day.

The deluge caused travel disruption on Friday and into the weekend, and also led to the death of a man near Cleobury Mortimer.

The height of the River Severn is now starting to go down after peaking at Bewdley in the early hours of Tuesday.

Despite going down, the level is still officially high; on Tuesday morning it was 4.55m, more than a metre above the 3.3m level that's closed as 'top of the normal range' by the Enivornment Agency.
