RELATED NEWS:

It comes after a number of roads in the county got flooded. The A465 Hereford to Bromyard road, particularly at Stoke Lacy and the Bishop's Frome turn off, became impassable, as well as the A4110 south of Leintwardine. 

There are currently no reported closures in Herefordshire; however. the A49 north of the county at Bromfield Road, near Ludlow, and the A456 at Newnham Bridge, near Tenbury Wells, remain shut. 

Parts of Shropshire and Worcestershire were particularly hit hard as storm Babet hit havoc across the UK.

The heavy rain sadly cost the life of one motorist who became stranded in flood water in Cleobury Mortimer, on the Shropshire/Worcestershire border.
