Flood barriers going up after Storm Dennis

Our teams have been very busy overnight and today dealing with many flooding incidents following the very heavy rains that Storm Dennis brought to the borough on Saturday night.

Council teams are now putting up the Ironbridge flood barriers along the Wharfage following the decision this morning by the Environment Agency to deploy these.

The Wharfage will be closed to traffic but businesses can still be accessed as normal.

Based on current forecasts, we are expecting the Severn to peak tomorrow in Ironbridge. 

Thanks to all the emergency teams working in difficult conditions to keep the borough moving and help those affected or threatened by flooding.
