Earlier today, a shared roof on a row of homes on Sands Close, Gleadless Valey, lifted off.

Firefighters carried out ‘emergency repairs’ and made the buildings safe. Sheffield Council said it did not own the building.

A Range Rover was also damaged yesterday morning after a huge branch from a tree landed on the 4x4 on Knowle Lane, Ecclesall – partially blocking the road.
