Storms Dudley and Eunice expected to bring high winds, heavy rain and potential snow throughout the week
Two low pressure systems that will bring spells of very strong winds and potentially snow to the UK this week, have been named.
Storm Dudley will cross the northern half of the UK Wednesday night into Thursday morning, while Storm Eunice will bring strong winds and potentially some snow or rain for parts of the country Friday.
Residents are encouraged to report issues online if you see a fallen tree blocking a road or a footpath.
Weather warnings are in place for Telford currently including ‘Yellow’ warning for wind on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, but this is subject to changes in conditions. For the latest details and timings of warnings visit the Met Office’s weather warnings website.
Telford and Wrekin Council's building control, highways and tree teams will all be on hand should any incidents occur such as damage to buildings caused by high winds that pose a risk to the public. There is uncertainty over the strength of the winds and the worst-affected areas, the Met Office said.
This system is also expected to bring some heavy rain and there is a potential for some significant snowfall over hills in the Midlands and further north.
Cabinet Member for Neighbourhood Services, Regeneration and the High Street, Councillor Lee Carter (Labour) said: “Our crews will be on hand ready to help with damage caused by high winds or any localised surface water flooding should this occur.
"Thanks also to our residents and partners in making sure the borough is prepared for these storms and minimising disruption as far as possible.”
