That's the end of our live coverage for Tuesday.

We'll be back from 08:00 tomorrow bringing you the latest on flooding across the West Midlands.

Engineers are working on the site of a landslip which is preventing rail services from running between Shrewsbury and Hereford.

Heavy rain has caused the landslip at Marshbrook, near Craven Arms in Shropshire, Network Rail said.

Several roads and car parks have been closed across Worcester amid rising flood waters.

Hylton Road, Tybridge Street, Severn Terace, Grandstand Road, Worcester Bridge and Diglis Bridge are all closed, along with the pedestrian Sabrina Bridge.

The Cattlemarket, Croft Road, Newport St, Tybridge St and Pitchcroft are also closed.

The play area in Gheluvelt Park has also been closed due to flooding, Worcester City Council said.

Nick Green from the Environment Agency said other parts of Worcestershire could also be affected in the next few days.

A woman and her dog had to be rescued from their caravan home in Stourport, Worcestershire.

Chris Hutton said he left the caravan, where he lives with his wife and pet, near Stourport Marina on Monday but could not get back due to the high water.

His wife and dog were trapped inside.

"A guy who works at the marina put his waders on and did a fireman's lift with my wife and took her to the gate where she was met by a trucker who put her in his truck to get her and the dog off the marina and out of our caravan."

The family are hoping to move to a hotel for a bit but he is still worried about his caravan.

If water reaches it it will be "scrap", he said, but predictions show it should not reach that level.

Here's the current flooding situation:

• The severe flood warnings, which mean danger to life, remain in place for Bewdley and Ironbridge.
• Neither site has seen the River Severn peak yet.
• Water is said to be centimetres below the barriers in Bewdley.
• Water is peaking in Shrewsbury, and a number of properties have been flooded.
• Roads are being closed in Worcester due to flooding.
• Levels are beginning to drop in Herefordshire.

Workers are trying to pump water out of Dale End in Ironbridge.

Clearing the water will help maintain access for emergency vehicles trying to get into Ironbridge, the council said.

River levels in Bewdley are not expected to peak until Wednesday.

However, there are fears the temporary flood barriers at Beales Corner will be breached later today.

It comes just two years after the Prime Minister visited the town, and promised to look at making defences more permanent.

MP Mark Garnier said the money to build better flood defences has been made available, but the difficulty of getting them built is causing delays.

"You have got the sewage, gas, electricity, all the rest of it that is running underneath the road and it has got to be rediverted," he said.

"There is a lot of engineering works that is being looked at and being planned.

"It will be done, hopefully by the end of 2023, but of course the trouble is we can't stop nature while we're dealing with the physics and the engineering problems."

As flood waters start to subside in Herefordshire, response teams are preparing to offer support in Worcestershire and Shropshire.

A small number of homes in Hereford have been affected by floods, the response team leader said, but water levels are starting to drop.

Roads need to be checked for damage and residents should not travel to neighbouring counties if they have flood alerts.

"Please check before you travel and do not travel to areas which have flood alerts, especially Bewdley in Worcestershire and Ironbridge in Shropshire," Supt Edd Williams, chair of the tactical co-ordination group, said.

"Our emergency response teams are on standby to support colleagues and the public in surrounding counties - in both Worcestershire and Shropshire where major incidents have been declared.”

Flooding in Shrewsbury is becoming the norm, residents say, and is slowly getting worse.

"While it brings the community together, we are getting fed up of it," resident Johnnie Ashley said.

"Every time we flood, it's a big clean-up operation for those by the river, and as our town centre is essentially surrounded by the river, it has an effect [on] how people can go about day-to-day living."

Liam Ball lives in Telford, but his partner lives in Shrewsbury.

He said the flood came very quickly and many people are trying to get water out of their cellars.

"I think the people of Shrewsbury and all on the Severn in Shropshire are getting sick of this happening year on year," he said.

"It affects property and people's businesses it would seem every year at the moment.

"Hopefully more can be done upstream to stop these sort of events continuing."

Workers at the flood barriers in Ironbridge have been getting food and drinks provided, courtesy of a nearby church.

Reverend Ernest Okeke, Rector at St Luke's Church, said he wanted to assist the people trying to help his town.

"We brought food and hot drinks for them to show them we are concerned about what they are doing."

Church warden Gail Foster, who co-ordinated today's help, said the church is a point of contact for emergency workers during times of flood.

"We are available to offer whatever support is needed," she said.

"We partnered with Madeley Tesco's who donated all the food and beverages that enabled us to provide sustenance to Environment Agency and council staff and anyone else in attendance this morning."

Delivering the food was not easy, Ms Foster added, as volunteers had to use back roads in order to access the area.

The council issued its thanks to Mr Okeke and praised the community for pulling together.

Shrewsbury's MP says he has written to the Prime Minister to urge him to visit the flooded town.

Daniel Kawczynski said: "Many residents have been affected by the flooding and would like you to see the extent of the devastation to their homes and businesses."

He says he has asked if he can challenge Boris Johnson during Prime Minister's Questions on funding for the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) and called for the Bellwin Scheme, external to be activated to provide emergency financial support.

It is "imperative" steps are also taken to combat future flooding, he says.

Calls for permanent flood barriers in Ironbridge have been made.

Shaun Davies, leader of Telford & Wrekin Council, has called on central government to provide a "permanent solution" to flood risks along the river.

"Some properties have no protection from flood defences and are still under water, and we have evacuated properties behind defences that could be breached while supporting those who have decided to stay put," he said.

"We are doing all we can to support residents and are preparing for the worst but hoping for the best."

The Environment Agency has severe flood warnings, meaning a "danger to life" for Ironbridge and Bewdley where the temporary flood defences face being overtopped.

Record levels have been seen on the upper stretches of the River Severn, the Environment Agency's regional manager said.

Clare Dinnis said the river is currently peaking in Shrewsbury, so steps are being taken further down the river to prepare for its arrival.

The agency has done "a lot of work" to add extra stability behind the temporary barriers in Beale's Corner, since last year's flood.

Plans are in place, Ms Dinnis added, for permanent defences on the site.

"In the meantime though we want to use those barriers as safely as we can and we’ve also worked with residents to help them have some individual protection on their properties for the winters between now and the final scheme," she said.

Julie Evans, who lives above a coffee shop in Coleham, Shrewsbury, is stranded in her home.

"I can't go out, once it is like this, that's me I'm done," she said.

She said she has issues with balance that mean she cannot navigate the water.

She has lived in the area for 17 years but the last 18 months have been the "worst" for flooding.

"This is the highest I have ever seen it," she said.

Dave Matthias, from Barnabus Church, added they were also under water.

"We've lifted everything on our ground floor...we've even gone to the extent this time of taking all the internal doors off their hinges."

David Parker was spotted using bin liners on his feet as he didn't have any wellies.

He said he was trying to reach his car to go to work.

"We still have to go to work even though it is nearly up through the front room," he said.

"I've got everything above ground just to try and save most of it but we're at the will of the gods."

Specialist paramedics are in place at the West Midlands locations with severe flood warnings.

They are on stand by in Ironbridge and Bewdley.

Sandbags have been made available for people in Bridgnorth to collect if they need them.

They can be picked up from Cantern Brook depot in the town and are available on a first-come-first-serve basis.

Centres are being set up to offer people support amid the flooding.

A reception centre is in place at the Salvation Army in Salters Lane in Coleham, Shrewsbury.

Angela Holloway, emergency planning officer for Shropshire Council, said they are expecting a "few" people today.

People can come and receive welfare, accommodation support or signpost people to where they can get necessary support, she said.

A support centre will then be set up at Castle Hall in Bridgnorth on Wednesday.

After earlier rail problems were resolved, a landslip between Hereford and Shrewsbury is now blocking lines.

Transport for Wales said there may be delays through the stations.

Disruption, it said, is expected until 14:15, with buses in operation between the two towns.

Train services are resuming from Shrewsbury, as flood water has subsided.

National Rail said the Flooding, external at Shrewsbury has now subsided and lines have reopened. Trains are now beginning to return to normal between Shrewsbury and Wolverhampton. However, trains may still be cancelled, delayed by up to 15 minutes or revised whilst service recovers.

Disruption will continue until 17:00.

Water levels may remain high in Coleham, Shrewsbury, but it was no problem for one couple who simply hopped into a canoe in order to get through the floods.
