High winds can cause large branches to fall from trees, or even blow the entire tree over.
If you see a tree blocking a road you should call South Lanarkshire Council and they’ll arrange for it to be removed. This can mean it needs broken down with a chain saw into smaller sections before being removed.
Please call 0303 123 1020 Monday to Thursday 8.45am – 4.45pm, Friday 8.45am-4.15pm or out with office hours call 24-hour-call centre on 0800 242024.
High winds can also cause debris to be blown about so you should drive with extra care. Any photos of fallen trees? Be safe.
