Floods ease and clean up continues through Shropshire
Water levels are dropping on the River Severn through Shropshire.
Just two flood alerts remain on the river through Shropshire, at Melverley, where farmland and some lanes remain underwater and between Shrewsbury and Bridgnorth.
The Environment Agency says areas affected could include White Abbey, Hayes Basin, Gravel Hill Lane in Shrewsbury, Coalbrookdale, Ironbridge, Leighton & Bridgnorth.
In Shrewsbury, the Frankwell Car Park coach spaces are open and the car park itself is open with restricted spaces.
The clean-up began today at the town's Greenhous West Mid Showground, swamped by the recent flood waters.
Volunteers are being urged to go along to the showground today and tomorrow between 10am and 2pm armed with wellington boots.
