Just one flood alert in Shropshire as rivers continue to fall
Just one flood alert remains in place for Shropshire today as river levels continue to fall following weeks of flooding.
The alert - meaning flooding is possible, be prepared - is in place for the Severn Vyrnwy confluence.
The Environment Agency said flooding was still affecting low lying land and roads adjacent to the river from the Welsh border at Llawnt to Shrawardine, near Shrewsbury.
It said other locations which may be affected include Llanymynech, Maesbrook and Melverley.
In total, 55 flood warnings and 149 flood alerts are still in place across England.
