A market town's council has set out how it plans to recover from the damage caused to public property caused by Storm Babet.

But there were other impacts around town, including water getting on the stairs inside the museum at Buttercross, and in the kitchen. Flooding closed the Linney Riverside Park car park on Friday, Saturday and Sunday due to rising river levels. The river boundary fence acted as a trap for debris and vegetation which increased the force of the water causing damage to the fence.
"As long as there are no safety issues, delaying repairs, in case there is further flooding, is more cost effective for the council."
