The remains of a parcel centre that was destroyed in a huge fire will be demolised within days, the fire service said.

Staffordshire Fire and Rescue Service is still investigating the cause of the blaze at Super Smart Service on Cley Road in Cannock last week.

Crews were scaling back their presence at the scene after being in attendance over the weekend, they added.

Firefighters first attended just after 08:00 BST on Thursday.
