Flood warnings are still in place across our area this morning, two days since Storm Henk battered the country with heavy rain.

There are 37 in place for Worcestershire and 12 for Herefordshire.

Worcester itself has been particularly badly hit.

The County Council says there are some road closures.

The City Council says bin collections for some residents have been affected.

It also says if you can't park, the car park at St Martin's Gate will stay open 24 hours a day till Saturday.

River levels are also extremely high.

Parts of the River Severn are expected to peak at around 5.5 metres, the River Wye above 5 metres and the River Avon at Evesham over 4 metres.
