With many routes still blocked following Storm Franklin’s battering of the county, Derbyshire Roads Policing Unit urged drivers not to ignore closure signs.

Officers posted this image on Twitter of a vehicle stranded on the A6 near Belper.

A spokesperson said: “If it says road closed, it's road closed.”

Derbyshire Constabulary’s Contact Centre added: “Please do not ignore signs, and ensure you take an alternative route.”
