STORM ERIK: Building 'open as usual' after the roof is repaired at County Hall's Preston register office
The roof of Lancashire County Council's register office in Preston was badly damaged on Saturday morning after Storm Erik brought winds of 70mph to the red rose county.
Parts of the roof were scattered across Arthur Street, which was closed by workmen from Austin Watson Builders and Construction Ltd to clear the road of any debris.
