TWO fords in Worcester are closed this morning due to flooding fears.

Worcestershire County Council's Highways and Travel team have said that Shell Ford at Earl's Common and Walcott Ford at Drakes Broughton are to remain closed this morning.

A statement said: "Both Shell Ford at Earl's Common and Walcott Ford at Drakes Broughton remain closed this morning.

"Please do not attempt to cross. We may be able to reopen Shell Ford later today but water in Bow Brook remains high and Walcott Ford will remain closed."

The news follows flash flooding all across Worcestershire yesterday morning (Sunday, October 23).

Water could be seen pooling in the middle of roads and rising over the pavements on many roads across Worcester.

St John's, in Worcester, was particularly affected by the flash flooding, with rainwater overflowing onto the pavements on several major roads.

Tybridge Street saw lots of water across all lanes of the carriageway from early on, with initial fears the water would make the road impassable.

Aldi, Mcdonalds and The Range's car parks also show lots of water building up at the entrance.

On Malvern Road, a major pool of water could be seen across the centre of the road, with drivers passing through the water at slow speeds. 

Some residents were seen trying to clear drains on the sides of the road in order to prevent further flooding across the road.

Further down the road, at the Lower Wick Roundabout, major flooding could be seen on both sides of the Marks and Spencer petrol station and heading towards the dual carriageways.
