A flood alert has been issued for the River Lugg (South of Leominster), following heavy rain over recent days.
The Environment Agency said:

“Further rainfall is forecast over the next few days, with heavier rainfall predicted over the weekend. We expect river levels to remain high for several days.
“We are closely monitoring the situation. Please plan driving routes to avoid low lying roads near rivers, which may be flooded and avoid using low lying footpaths near local watercourses. This message will be updated by 2pm on Wednesday, 16/02/22 or as the situation changes.”
