Staffordshire County Council dealt with 474 calls reporting damage and flooding over the weekend.

Highway crews responded to over 400 separate incidents over the weekend in the aftermath of the high winds and heavy rain from Storm Darragh, with repair work continuing, said Staffordshire County Council.

Rail services continued to be affected on Monday, with disruptions between Stafford and Stoke-on-Trent, as well as Tamworth and Nuneaton. Andrew Campbell from the sanctuary said it had lost the majority of its perimeter fencing and a number of roofs needed to be replaced. Buses were running instead of trains between Stafford and Stoke-on-Trent and passengers were warned to expect disruption between Tamworth and Nuneaton.

Councillor Mark Deaville, the county council's cabinet member for highways, said crews had been working "tirelessly" to remove any danger and he was "extremely relieved that nobody in our area was seriously injured".
