FLOODING is still expected in parts of Malvern, Tenbury and Upton-Upon-Severn after many areas were left underwater. 

Homes were flooded, roads were closed and businesses have been impacted as flood alerts were issued throughout the area.

The flooding followed a weekend of heavy rainfall due to Storm Bert, which left over a dozen locations in Worcestershire with flood warnings.

The River Severn at Court Meadow, Callow End, Kempsey, and Upton is still at high risk of flooding, with flood warnings still in place in 16 locations across the county.

Further rainfall is forecast over the next two days and it is expected river levels will remain high over the next few days. 

Powick Roundabout, which connects Worcester and Malvern, was forced to close on Monday due to flooding in River Teme and River Severn.

However, Worcestershire County Council confirmed it was open in both directions as of Tuesday morning. 

One frustrated commuter said he feared there would be chaos caused by the closure, describing the Powick roundabout as nearly all underwater. 

Bransford Road, which goes from Worcester to Malvern, was also closed, as was Hanley Road, which blocked people's routes in and out of Upton. 

Meanwhile, flooding led to Tenbury Wells being left 13ft (4m) underwater after a wall was swept away when the Kyre Brook burst its banks.

Dozens of businesses and shops suffered smashed windows and water damage after floods surged down the high street.

The impact of the floods began on Friday evening as Malvern Town Council revealed the threat of flooding and heavy rain would result in a scaled-back Christmas lights switch-on event. 

Malvern Hills District Council began the clean-up of impacted areas on Monday, including cleaning mud and debris from affected areas of Tenbury Wells. 

The authority's town centre liaison officer has been talking with businesses and residents whose homes have been devastated about the support and advice available.
