Storm Arwen has caused chaos up and down the country with fallen trees, lack of power and cancelled transport services.

This is just a couple of examples how Chester has been affected. 

Train services to and from Chester were cancelled earlier in the day, with no rail replacements in place. 

Chester Zoo had to shut it's doors due to the damage caused. 

Many trees across the city have fallen, including this one in Handbridge.

Power and electricity has been down across the City, including at two Mills where the traffic lights are without power, causing near misses between vehicles. 

SP Energy Network said areas of Cheshire are affected and that they are aiming to restore power by 4pm.
