After days of heavy rain, flood warnings have been issued across the region as river levels continue to rise.

In Worcester, a small 'landslide' occurred when a wall collapsed onto the street following days of heavy rain. Herefordshire, too, saw a small landslip that closed parts of the A40 in both directions.

Across the region, more than 30 flood warnings are in place - Warwickshire and Worcestershire have the most flood warnings issued due to high water levels on the River Avon and the River Severn.

Flood alerts - which are different to a warning, meaning a flood is possible, not likely - are also in place across the Midlands.
