North East continues to feel the impact of Storm Arwen as clean-up operations continue

Local authorities in the North East are continuing their work in the aftermath of Storm Arwen after extensive damage and disruption across the region.

Roads were closed, events were cancelled and some transport services suspended as a result of the strong winds and sleet which first arrived in the region on Friday, November 26.

Work is continuing across the North East to clear debris and repair damage caused, while some homes in the region are still without power as a result of the extreme weather.

Northern Powergrid is working to restore supply to those affected, with teams continuing to work through hundreds of incidents as of Sunday afternoon (November 28).
