A flood warning is in place for the River Severn at the Showground and The Quarry, in Shrewsbury following recent storms Dudley and Eunice.

The Environment Agency says a predicted peak at Welshbridge of between 3.0m to 3.3m is expected on Saturday evening. River levels are expected to remain high for several days.

Flood defences were deployed earlier this week in Frankwell.

In Ironbridge, the Wharfage is closed from 7am today as the Environment Agency may put up the flood barriers. Businesses will be open as usual.
