RIVER levels across Worcestershire have peaked as the county's roads remain closed due to flooding.

Storm Bert continues to cause chaos and widespread disruption across the county as heavy rainfall caused the River Teme, Avon and Severn to burst their banks at the weekend.

The water levels for all three Worcestershire rivers finally peaked late last night and this morning as some areas now begin a major cleanup of the damage caused.

At the moment, the flood warnings affect Worcester and a number of towns and villages across Worcestershire, including Upton, Bransford, Evesham, Hanley Castle, Knightwick, Kempsey and Severn Stoke.

However, water levels are expected to remain high as more rainfall is predicted in the next few days.

River levels are expected to remain high until Thursday (November 28).
