MORE than 130 fallen trees were removed from roads as Storm Eunice passed through Worcestershire.
Worcestershire Highways crews worked around the clock throughout Friday and the weekend tackling the aftermath of Storm Dudley and Storm Eunice.
Councillor Alan Amos, cabinet member for highways and transport at Worcestershire County Council, said, “The efforts of our highways staff during significant weather events is something I am incredibly proud of. Once again, our teams have worked tirelessly to clear roads from fallen trees and other debris and keep the county moving.
“As we see the knock-on effect of the storms on our rivers we will be working closely with the Environment Agency to ensure, where there is danger, roads are closed and flooding safety precautions are in place.”
Flood barriers are in place in Bewdley and Upton, and flood pumps have been deployed in Worcester and Powick.
There are 22 flood alerts where flooding is expected in Worcestershire for the River Severn, River Rea, River Teme and River Wye.
