Storm Darragh clean-up as 12 trees still down in Staffordshire

 Storm Darragh's aftermath has left significant challenges in Staffordshire, where at least 12 trees remain down, causing disruptions in areas such as Newcastle-under-Lyme and Wombourne. Local authorities and residents have been actively engaged in cleanup efforts, but the scale of damage has led to warnings about travel delays and potential hazards from remaining debris.

The Met Office has issued yellow weather warnings for the region, cautioning about ongoing risks such as strong winds and localized hazards. While the immediate threat from the storm has subsided, weather conditions in the coming days are expected to remain cold, with temperatures feeling even lower due to persistent winds.

If you are in the area, exercise caution, especially near wooded or debris-laden zones, and stay updated with local advisories for travel and safety measures.
