Drivers urged to take care

Drivers are urged to take care on the roads this afternoon due to the windy weather from Storm Ali.

Reports of trees falling on roads, as well as other debris, have been made.

Road Policing Inspector Neil Morrison said: “Conditions are very blustery at the moment and the high winds are expected to remain in our area until later this evening.

“I would urge all motorists to drive carefully and with caution, especially on country roads where potential hazards could be around corners.

“Reduce your speed and leave plenty of space between you and the vehicle in front.

“Should you come across a dangerous hazard, such as a fallen tree across the road, please call 101 to report the matter. This will allow us to notify the appropriate authorities and have the tree or item removed."
