Several areas of the town have been affected by high water levels as a result of the storm including Victoria Park, which could be seen under water earlier this week.

Also impacted is Kingsmead Retail Park, with its car park seen submerged in flood water on Thursday.

As a result, shoppers and local councillors made a call for action, with one resident commenting that it wasn't the first time he had seen the retail park flooded.

On Saturday, it was apparent that some shoppers had made an attempt to return to normality, as cars dodged the large puddles that remained at the retail park.

Meanwhile, the Doxey Road long stay car park located just outside of Stafford town centre was closed off on Saturday, as a sign outside of the front of it read "car park closed due to flooding".

Elsewhere in the region, a swollen River Severn has once again seen widespread flooding hit residents and businesses in Shrewsbury, Ironbridge, Bewdley and Bridgnorth.
