With a number of incident already reported, police want to remind motorists how to report flooding or fallen trees.

If the flooding or fallen tree isn't a direct emergency, is on easily visible and not on a key road to ring 101.

If the incident is on a key road, isn’t easily visible or on a corner and poses an immediate risk to call 999.

Police are working with Highways today to remove branches/trees from roads and place signs.

The Force Control room twitter account will have updates throughout the day of all incidents.

Officers on rural patrols are attending a number of road traffic collisions. High winds, fallen trees and foliage is contributing to treacherous driving conditions on the county's roads.
