Swindon Borough Council crews have been working hard to clear fallen and damaged trees across the town after strong winds from Storm Boelo.
The teams spent Sunday (25 October) responding to reports from residents of hazards on roads, footpaths and in public spaces, prioritising incidents and working to make affected areas safe as quickly as possible.
One of the incidents saw Broome Manor Lane, near Coate Water Country Park, closed after a tree was uprooted behind the golf course and left at risk of falling.
Council crews responded quickly to safely clear the tree and remove the hazards, allowing the road to reopen as soon as possible.
The council has since confirmed that Broome Manor Lane is back open, thanking its crews for their swift work and residents for their patience during the closure.
In a wider update, the authority also thanked residents for reporting fallen and damaged trees, saying the reports had helped teams prioritise their response across the borough.
The work formed part of a busy day for council crews dealing with the effects of the storm and helping to keep public spaces safe.
