Severe flooding expected. Take action immediately.

Please activate any property flood protection products you may have, such as flood barriers and air brick covers and have a bag ready with vital items like medicines and insurance documents.
River levels at Ludlow are predicted to peak between 5.2 and 5.4m this evening, Sunday 16/02/20.
Further rainfall is expected over the next 12 hours as a result of Storm Dennis. We expect river levels to remain high over the next couple of days. We are closely monitoring the situation. Our incident response staff are liaising with emergency services.
