An interactive map has revealed the Worcestershire areas that could be underwater as early as 2030.

Created by Climate Central, the sea level rise and coastal flood maps show parts of Worcestershire will be on the brink of being submerged in water in seven years. 

How will Worcestershire be affected by rising sea levels over the next seven years:

Parts of Bredon, nestled in the Wychavon district, will be impacted by the water, with many key roads connecting the village to Tewkesbury set to be underwater.

Mill End, which borders Gloucestershire, will also be impacted, as well as Bushley and The Mythe.

The data is based on peer-reviewed science in leading journals, but Climate Central has stressed that the maps include big datasets, “which always include some error.”

It also warns that estimates do not factor in man-made structures to prevent further damage, including seawalls - meaning some areas will likely not face the true expected scale of damage.
