The A38 has been closed in both directions after the River Dove bursts its banks.

The road is closed between Weeford island in Lichfield and Toyota island near Derby because of flooding near Burton.

Eleven flood warnings remain in place across the county following the weekend rain, the Environment Agency has said.

They apply to low lying land close to the rivers Tame, Dove, Blithe and Trent.

Earlier today, Staffordshire Fire and Rescue crews guided 20 sheep to dry land after the River Trent burst its banks near to Rugeley.

The flooding also caused disruption on the A51.
