FLOODING HITS BRUM - SHOCKING PICTURES

21-07-2007

People in many parts of Birmingham and the Black Country having to deal with flooding this morning, after an epic downpour lasting more than 24 hours. One of the Stirrer's community correspondents Naveed Mughal was on the spot in Sparkhill to take these shocking pictures.

Naveed's snaps were taken around Percy Road, Formans Road and Stratford Road which started flooding from 7pm on Friday night.

The water reached 3-4ft, and nearby roads were cordoned off, with the Greet pub being forced to close.

Elsewhere, motorists on one stretch of the M5 in the Midlands were trapped in their cars overnight and 60 residents of an estate in Evesham had to be rescued by the RAF.
