Flood alerts have been issued for a number of Worcestershire locations as Storm Christoph continues to batter the county.

River levels are forecast to rise at the Bewdley river gauge, and as a result, locations which may face flooding include the following:

Stourport

Holt Fleet

Kempsey

Severn Stope

Upton Upon Severn

Water levels are expected to peak on Saturday at between 4.2 and 4.7m (Bewdley), 5.3 and 5.5m (Worcester), 4.6 and 4.8m (Diglis), 6.4 to 6.8 (Kempsey), 4.7 to 5.1m (Saxons Lode).

An Environment Agency spokesman said: "Further rainfall is forecast over the next 24 hours and we expect river levels to remain high over the next few days.

"We are closely monitoring the situation and our staff are checking defences.

"Please plan driving routes to avoid low lying roads near rivers, which may be flooded."
