Flood barriers are being delivered to Ironbridge but are not expected to be put up this weekend, as high river levels subside in other parts of the county.
In Shropshire, there is one flood warning in place - in Frankwell, Shrewsbury - and six less serious flood alerts. The warning for the West Mid Showground was removed at 12.06pm today.
The latest flood warning for Frankwell in Shrewsbury said:"Flooding is possible in this area. Monitor local water levels and weather conditions. Avoid using low-lying footpaths or entering areas prone to flooding. Start acting on your flood plan if you have one. "As the Frankwell barriers have been deployed and are fully operational, we are currently not expecting protected properties in this area to be impacted. The Environment Agency Flood Warning System has issued this message based on rising river or tidal levels.
A Telford & Wrekin Council spokeswoman confirmed the delivery of the barriers to Ironbridge and added:"We’ve delivered sandbags to the area for residents to collect from today if they are concerned and all of the businesses remain open as usual." Rob Davies, hydrometry and telemetry officer for the Environment Agency, said:"The River Severn in Shrewsbury - thankfully the peak has now passed through but there are still flood warnings in place and rain around in coming days."
