FLOOD alerts remain in force in Herefordshire as half-term starts this morning, with plenty of water still around in the county.
Roads across the county were closed last week as yet more flooding hit Herefordshire, with a flood warning issued for the river Wye and flood alerts issued for several other county rivers.
Two flood alerts remain in force for Herefordshire this morning. They are for the river Wye in Herefordshire and the river Lugg south of Leominster.
