Flood warnings are still in place near some rivers in Worcestershire as the county feels the effects of another day of flooding.

Water levels across the River Severn finally peaked in Worcestershire on Sunday but levels are still expected to remain high for a number of days.

Heavy rains have led to warnings of property flooding on Quay Street, South Quay, Diglis Avenue, Hood Street, Pitchcroft Lane, Waterworks Road, and Newport Street.

The Environment Agency has warned that despite levels across the River Severn peaking, further rainfall predicted in the next 48 hours has posed further flooding risks.

A spokesperson for the Environment Agency said: "River levels are falling but remain high at the Diglis (Worcester) river gauge as a result of heavy rainfall.

"Consequently, the risk of flooding remains. We expect flooding to affect properties at Quay Street, South Quay, Diglis Avenue and Hood Street. Properties also affected at Pitchcroft Lane, Waterworks Road, and Newport Street, Worcester."

The peak at Diglis was recorded at 4.72m on Sunday afternoon.

The following roads remain closed: Hanley Road, Upton; Brotheridge Green, Hanley Castle; Severn Side South in Bewdley; Bransford Court Lane in Bransford; Severn Side North - Bewdley; Mill Lane, Hanley Castle.

Worcester City Council has announced all car parks in Worcester have reopened, with the exception of Pitchcroft.

The council closed car parks along the River Severn and advised people to use the St Martin's Gate car park as an alternative. 

On Friday, people were urged to move their cars before the floodwater rose too high.

The car parks were closed over the weekend as the river rose by over five metres.
