During last weekend’s storm Éowyn, which saw strong winds and rainy showers, the council responded to a number of fallen trees, as well as other disruptions on Denbighshire's road network.
Their highways teams were stationed ready on Thursday evening, working out-of-hours ready to respond to callouts.
A total of 29 calls were attended to from fallen tree reports throughout Friday and the weekend, with the teams working with local partners to quickly clear roads around the whole county.
Along with the calls about fallen trees, a number of more minor reports were attended to along the road network.
Paul Jackson, Head of Highways & Environmental Services, said: “The highways teams were prepared for this recent spell of bad weather, and worked in very windy and unfavourable conditions to ensure that our road network stayed open and safe throughout the weather warning period.”
Councillor Barry Mellor, Lead Member for Environment and Transport, said: “I’d like to thank our highways teams, as well as the multiple partners we work with for their quick response to a number of fallen tree reports throughout the weekend. They help keep our roads safe and secure, making sure our roads are passable.”
