Police closed a number of country roads yesterday afternoon as Storm Callum blew into town.
​
And he made his mark on places like Dark Lane and Castle Lane, Westhead with two older trees brought down in the high winds.​
​
That saw 'special branch' officers on patrol with a specialist tree felling team from LCC removing the stricken oak tree which blew down at around 3.30pm on Dark Lane. The team couldn't remove the other tree which proved a more dangerous proposition yesterday afternoon - it will be attended to as soon as practicable now the winds have died down.
