It was a busy weekend for the emergency services and the Environment Agency after flooding affected many routes in the county.

The majority of flooding occurred on routes close to the River Wye. The Wye peaked on Sunday afternoon in Hereford at 4.9 metres and many people watched in dismay as thousands of apples floated down the river after an orchard to the west of Hereford was flooded.

Letton was badly flooded as normal and Holme Lacy Road in Hereford was flooded after the brook backed up against the swollen river.

Thankfully by this morning levels on the Wye had dropped considerably.
