so this is one of the main roads in shrewsbury, smithfield road, normally packed full of cars, especially at rush hour, but right now it is pretty much a ghost town river running to the middle of it. so that is the centre of shrewsbury, is it? yes, just down here, right in the centre, normally cars, from wales, from this direction, all through town over here, but it's just silent at the moment with most roads into the town currently blocked. the river their floods are not. i have relatives in pretty much in the centre of shrewsbury and eventually after yea rs had in the centre of shrewsbury and eventually after years had to get their house built on stilts to protect them from the river flooding. it's a regular occurrence, isn't it? do people get used to it? are they able to get insurance?” know some businesses have struggled to get insurance but flooding on this scale is not as regular, this is the worst we've had it in 20 yea rs. is the worst we've had it in 20 years. look over my shoulder here and you can see the river is nearly breaching this wall. to get onto the road like this is n
