He said the defences, which were first unveiled in September, would serve the town of Bewdley for “decades ahead”. <\/p>\n
Discussing the wider West Midlands and the impact of Storm Claudia, Mr Perry said the region had seen “a lot of surface water flooding”. <\/p>\n
He also said water levels in the larger rivers had “been on the lower end of a normal winter flood” despite the heavy rain. <\/p>\n
“Sadly, though, on Friday leading into Saturday parts of south-west Herefordshire received up to 90mm (3.5 inches) of rain and it caused a lot of flash flooding in places like Ewyas Harold and Peterchurch,” Mr Perry said. <\/p>\n
He warned residents across the region to “remain vigilant” of the weather but said the forecast was “looking pretty good” for the rest of the week. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"He said the defences, which were first unveiled in September, would serve the town of Bewdley for “decades…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":268075,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[1397,90,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-268074","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-environment","tag-environment","tag-science","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/268074","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=268074"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/268074\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/268075"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=268074"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=268074"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=268074"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
