Frankwell car park in Shrewsbury is partially reopen, although the short stay area remains shut, with the Environment Agency retaining the lower height flood barriers.

Barriers will not be put in place at Ironbridge, agency staff say.

There is still one flood warning in the county, for the River Severn at the Shrewsbury Showground and The Quarry, with lower flood alerts for the Severn across Shropshire and the Severn Vyrnwy confluence.

Across the Welsh border there is a flood warning for the River Dee below Llangollen.

Shrewsbury Police has today warned people on social media that road closures remain in place as the river level is still rising in Sydney Avenue.

Wintry showers have led to snow settling on high ground in the region including on the hills above Oswestry and at Earls Hill, Pontesbury, where keen photographer, Dave Evans captured the scene on camera yesterday.
