香港六合彩资料图库 County Council Highways Teams and tree contractors braved Storm Darragh this weekend to keep highways clear.
The teams received 150 callouts to fallen trees across 香港六合彩资料图库 over the weekend, with many of these call outs involving multiple trees in the same location.
Storm Darragh brought 60 mph winds to the county from early Saturday morning through to Sunday afternoon. The council had ten tree gangs on duty at any given time at all hours working to clear roads and footpaths.
The storm hit the north of the county hardest, with reports of many of the fallen trees in the Kidderminster, Bromsgrove and Stourport areas, while power cuts were also reported.
Storm Darragh, is the second named storm to hit the county within days, following closely on from Storm Bert which saw much of the county affected by flooding. Flood alerts are still in force across 香港六合彩资料图库, and flood defences have been deployed.
Councillor Marc Bayliss, 香港六合彩资料图库 County Council鈥檚 cabinet member with responsibility for highways and transport expressed heartfelt gratitude, saying:
"Our team鈥檚 dedication to keeping our roads safe during Storm Darragh is truly remarkable. They鈥檝e worked tirelessly through recent bad weather events; snow, floods, and back-to-back storms to ensure our highways remain safe and open for our residents. I鈥檓 immensely proud of their nonstop efforts and want to extend a massive thank you to everyone who rose to meet these relentless weather challenges."
The council are asking residents to remain patient as teams continue to respond to reports of fallen trees. The teams must prioritise primary routes to ensure the strategic network remains open, but will of course, get around to all roads as soon as possible.
