Roads reopened:

• Buildwas Rd (likely to be closed later today)

Businesses remain open in The Gorge as usual. Please use Ironbridge Central Car Park.

Across the borough

The saturated ground and additional rain continues to cause lots of surface water and flooding across the borough. 

Our team is out across the area, responding to your reports of flooding and to try to keep the borough moving.

All of our A-roads are currently clear and we are now tackling the smaller roads to keep as many open as possible.

Please stay safe and don’t drive through the flood water.

Current road closures are:

• Bluebell Lane under railway bridge (Alscott)
• Wappenshall Lane
• Heath Lane (Ellerdine)
• Red House railway Bridge

Roads reopened:

• B5062 Cherrington Crossroads (Cherrington)
