LEDBURY could be impacted by yet more flooding after a flood alert was issued for the River Leadon. 

River levels remain high at the Wedderburn Bridge river gauge because of recent rainfall, with a risk of flooding remaining in place. 

A statement released on the Gov.uk website said flooding is expected to impact low lying land and roads adjacent to the River Leadon.

As well as Ledbury, Much Marcle, Staunton and Tibberton may also be affected.

The statement added: "No further significant rainfall is forecast.

"We expect river levels to remain high for the next few days, but we are closely monitoring the situation.

"Please avoid using low lying footpaths near local watercourses and plan driving routes to avoid low lying roads near rivers, which may be flooded."

A further update is expected to be issued by 4pm today (Tuesday, October 1).
