Flood warnings remain in place in Shropshire with river levels still high.
The Environment Agency has not made any changes to its flood warnings or alerts overnight, with the level at the River Severn at most gauges in the county currently going down.
In its update, Shropshire Council said:"The River Severn in Shrewsbury is now falling slightly, but it will remain high today. We are expecting a secondary peak tomorrow night into Monday following the rain last night, although this not currently expected to higher than Friday’s peak." On Saturday Shropshire Council reopened Coton Hill, Chester Street/Cross Street and Smithfield Road - all in Shrewsbury - to traffic. The authority hopes to reopen more roads in the county town later today.
