Storm Ciarán: Eastbourne roads blocked by fallen trees

At around 8.30am this morning (Thursday, November 2) a resident sent in pictures of a fallen tree in Wartling Road by Seaside Road.

This morning the AA also said Victoria Drive was closed from Command Road to Downs Avenue because of a fallen tree and power cables.

A Sussex Police spokesperson said: “We did attend Victoria Drive around 7.50am this morning after receiving a report of a tree causing damage to power cables. We closed a section of the road while the area was made safe. It has since reopened.”

East Sussex Highways has been contacted for more information.

Here are the schools in East Sussex that will be closed or will open later because of the storm.
