00:00Hello, I'm James from Mirovic and I'm here in Stourport on Severn. Behind me is the River

00:06Severn which is flowing heavily. It was the same way in Bewdley when I was there earlier.

00:10If you see behind me you can see the car park of Treasure Island. That's the Treasure Island

00:16theme park behind me. That's been affected by flooding, the car park. There's also a

00:21park area further up which as you can see has been filled with water as well and it

00:26sort of flows from the Severn inwards. It's not as bad here as it can be but the flooding

00:31here has been bad at times. Looking at the flow of the water right now it's sort of heading

00:36over and it's filling up parts of the car park. You wouldn't be able to park your car

00:40or walk around if you put it that way. Stourport Rowing Club is over there. You've also got

00:45Walsh's Meadow, the home of Stourport Football Club over there which is affected by flooding.

00:49The river levels are high here but they have been a lot worse. So taking a look at what

00:54we've got right now, the water levels are bad but I think Stourport is coping with it

01:00as well as it usually does.
