Staffordshire County Council says its army of gritters have been "out in force" as freezing temperatures, sleet and snow hit the Moorlands once again.

Highways crews were also working to deal with fallen trees, debris on the road and surface water flooding, with the heavy and persistent rain caused by Storm Christoph.

A yellow weather warning is still in place for Biddulph and motorists have been asked to take extra care.

David Williams, Cabinet Member for Highways and Transport at Staffordshire County Council, said: "Last night was an incredibly challenging time for both our gritting crews and highways teams dealing with both the snow and the heavy rain which caused surface flooding.

"Gritters were out across the county for most of the night, supported by our hill contractors in the Staffordshire Moorlands, which saw most of the snow.

"Our Highways teams were also in action and continue to deal with significant flood issues on various parts of the network, where water courses and rivers have become overwhelmed by the sheer volume of water. Whilst most roads remain open, some still remain closed or partially blocked due to the flooding but crews will be out again this morning to help keep them clear.

"Driving conditions will be very difficult over the day, so if you do need to travel please take extra care and drive to the conditions. I'd also ask people not to drive through any flooded sections of road, as you can never be sure how deep the water is."
