Environmental chiefs are warning of flooding risks in the River Leadon catchment area near Ledbury.
A spokesman for the Government's Flood Information Service said this morning that river levels "remain high but are falling" at the Wedderburn Bridge river gauge. Roads and farmland flooding is ongoing, particularly affecting low land and roads next to the river.
Locations that may be affected include Ledbury, Much Marcle, Staunton and Tibberton.
Water is over the road at Upleadon Court. The level at the Wedderburn Bridge river gauge peaked on Thursday evening [January 28].
More rain is due in the region on this week, on Tuesday into Wednesday and again on Thursday and the situation is being closely monitored.
People are being asked to avoid footpaths on low lying areas near to bodies of water and plan driving carefully to avoid any hazards.
