Some roads have flooded in Shropshire after rain battered the region for 36 hours.

The severe weather warning that was in place has now ended but some minor roads in the county have been left flooded after the incessant downpours.

Coalmoor Road and Dog in the Lane in Little Wenlock, Telford, were among the roads where drains had been overwhelmed this morning.

Liam Ball took photos showing water covering the road, while Telford & Wrekin Council warned people not to drive through floodwater.

"Take it easy out there in the boroughs roads," a spokesman said.

"Neighborhood Enforcement team have found some of the back roads have flooded like Dog In The Lane, New Works.

"Please don't be tempted to drive through it. Could be a costly mistake."
