Deployment of temporary flood defences in the Ironbridge Gorge - stand down
Please note, the latest information we have from the Environment Agency is that they have revised their predictions and it looks unlikely that there will be a threat of flooding in Ironbridge. It is the intention therefore to try and have the Wharfage reopened to traffic by 7pm this evening.
