A flood alert has been issued for the River Arrow in Herefordshire following recent heavy rain.
The Environment Agency said:
“River levels have fallen but remain high at the Titley Mill river gauge as a result of recent heavy rainfall. Consequently, flooding of roads and farmland is imminent.
“We expect flooding to affect low lying land and roads along the River Arrow from Michaelchurch to Brierley. Other areas that may be affected include Kington, Staunton and Eardisland. No flooding is currently expected at other locations.
“Further rainfall is forecast over the next few days, with heavier rainfall predicted over the weekend. We expect river levels to remain high through today, Wednesday, 16/02/22. We are closely monitoring the situation.
“Please avoid using low lying footpaths near local watercourses and plan driving routes to avoid low lying roads near rivers, which may be flooded. This message will be updated by 2pm today Wednesday, 16/02/22, or as the situation changes.”
