Please:

• Do not travel unless absolutely necessary
• Do not go wave watching - if you do, you’re putting yourself and others at unnecessary risk
• If you see someone in trouble on the coast, call 999 and ask for the Coastguard
• Expect disruption to travel - buses, flights, trains, ferries may be cancelled
• Protect your property and secure loose items in your garden such as trampolines and bins

If your rubbish or recycling is due to be collected on Friday:

• Put it out early in the morning rather than overnight, and only if it’s safe
• Make sure everything is secure so that it doesn't blow away in the strong winds
• Bear with us tomorrow - collection times may vary but we’ll do our best to get to you.
• Check our social media in case we need to update you

Weather warnings can change, so please keep up to date with your local news channel. Full details can be found on the warnings and advice pages of the Met Office website.
