Fire crews have criticised drivers after struggling to reach a large blaze at Chasewater.

They were called to the incident at around 7.30pm this evening (27th May).

But a spokesperson for Staffordshire Fire and Rescue Service said access to the fire had been difficult due to vehicles left by people visiting the area.

> “Unfortunately, the crews were unable to gain access due to a large number of cars parked on the access roads.

> “Inconsiderate parking has caused delays of 20 minutes to actually start fighting the fire.”
