Flooded residents brace as river levels set to peak across West Midlands
There is flooding across a swathe of the West Midlands as people brace for peak river levels at the weekend.
Roads also remained shut as Herefordshire, Worcestershire and Shropshire bore the brunt of the region's wet weather.The Environment Agency said it expected river levels to peak in Shrewsbury on Friday night, but more rain was expected to see them rise again. Levels were dropping on the swollen River Wye there at about midday on Friday, but for some, "their worst fears materialised overnight, with flood defences failing and water coming in their homes".
