The number of trees which came down across Cornwall in Storm Goretti may never be known but it is estimated to be in the thousands, a councillor has said.

Cabinet member for community safety and public health Thalia Marrington said declaring a major incident would not have provided emergency government funding, reports the Local Democracy Reporting Service.

A multi-agency debrief is behind held next week to look at how the storm response was handled.
