Staffordshire Council says Branston bridge will remain closed until it can be reinforced.

A digger and an excavator worth an estimated total of £60,000 are seized, Staffordshire Police say.

Stephen Cox is serving a 22-year sentence for the assaults on seven women in the 1980s and 1990s.

Mohammed Ghulan had been looking for a sex worker before targeting his victim, a court hears.

The bridge will be closed from Monday until Friday, as the council plans how to strengthen it.

Villagers raise concerns over when Tutbury Castle, which closed in July, will reopen to the public.

The business says a shake-up is needed for it to “thrive in these challenging times”.

Stephen Cox was found guilty of indecently assaulting seven patients in the late 1980s and 1990s.
