AS the river Severn lapped at the doors of the Worcester News, our staff were busy getting your paper to you.

Despite the flood water making Hylton Road impassable yesterday, we ensured 22,000 copies of your Worcester News still made it to your shops and through your doors.

With lorries unable to reach the front of our building, our drivers and sales staff used trolleys to ferry bundles of papers up a steep alleyway to Henwick Road, where they were collected by our distribution drivers.

Newspaper sales manager Mark Chandler said: "I was really proud of the way the team reacted to the floods."

"It was satisfying to know that we managed to get our distribution out in a professional way despite the conditions."
