FLOODING has occurred around Dinmore Hill, near Leominster, this afternoon.

Water has gathered either side of the hill on the A49 making driving conditions difficult although passable with care as of 5.30pm.

Large pools of water have gathered close to the Esso garage, near the Bodenham turning, with drivers carefully negotiating the hazard.

On the Hereford side of Dinmore Hill, again in the north bound carriage, flooding has also occurred.

The heavy rain is expected to stop later tonight with a relatively dry day predicted tomorrow.
