The long-term plan for a flood defence scheme in Tenbury Wells could cost as much as £30m, according to Environment Agency (EA) bosses.

Marc Lidderth, West Midlands director for the EA said the organisation had been looking at the options available for a scheme to better protect the community.

"Those costs have risen, unfortunately, because of the complexity of the historic and heritage nature of the town," he said.

There was currently insufficient funding available to make the scheme viable, he added.

As usual when the water rises, Shropshire Council has closed the car parks in Frankwell, Shrewsbury, both because of the direct impact of flooding, and the need to erect barriers there.

A widely shared video from Tenbury Wells showed a tractor driving through the town centre, causing waves against shop windows.

Louise Preston, who owns pottery shop Pitter Potter in Tenbury, said the store's front window was smashed by the water when the tractor drove past.

Marc Lidderth, Environment Agency (EA) director for the West Midlands, said flood barriers were being put up around the region, and urged people to sign up to the EA's flood warning service.

Flood barriers have already been erected in Bewdley and Shrewsbury, with deployment taking place along the Wharfage in Ironbridge this morning.
