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.”

A total of 32 properties in Rubery were left without power for hours due to a fault in the high voltage network.
