The Environment Agency hopes the new flood defences will cure the perennial problem of flooding in Bewdley.

The new flood defences consist of metal shutters between concrete posts that stand permanently along the riverside.

Water levels in the town are already very high and with rain continuing to fall upstream there is a real danger that the river will burst its banks.

There are concerns that the new barriers will simply to move the problem of flooding further downstream.

The City of Worcester now has temporary defences that can be put up at other flooding blackspots such as Hylton Road.
