PITCHCROFT car park has been closed as water levels continue to rise along the River Severn.

Drivers who have left their cars in the car park have been urged to pick them up before it is impossible to get them out.

A spokesperson for Worcester City Council said: "Pitchcroft car park has been closed, due to the rapidly rising river level and high likelihood of flooding.

"If you are parked there, please return to your vehicle."

Pitchcroft car park is prone to flooding and most recently flooded in October.

No other car parks have been announced to be closed so far, but the possibility of further closures is likely.
