River Teme, Floods again.

The residents of Tenbury Wells wait to see if they are to be flooded for a fourth time in six months. Its 142 days since the start of the last flood, and reports from Leintwardine say that the Teme was already at capacity at lunchtime on Saturday.

The situation at Tenbury at midday showed that the Teme still had several metres of capacity before the town was at risk.Teme at Tenbury 12.00 09/12/07

With a comment on the Title "River Teme, Floods aain" I would like to point out the the Teme has flooded around 80 times since 1770. So it will unfortunatly happen again. The last major flood in 1886 appears to be of the same depth as the latest flood. This was also a late spring flood in May.

What is happening about flood defence schemes for the town?
