Shrewsbury adapts to floods as River Severn continues to rise
  • 4 months ago
Residents and businesses across the county are hoping for the best but fearing for the worst as the River Severn continues to rise.
The Environment Agency said that the rising river levels may be close to the flood of 2020, when severe weather warnings were issued for Ironbridge and Shrewsbury after three weeks of downpours which started with Storm Ciara.
The EA has said towns such as Shrewsbury, Ironbridge and Bridgnorth are all in the firing line as water levels on the River Severn are not set to peak until Thursday afternoon.
