‘Stay home if you are able’, says OIC

Part of one of the well-established trees near the King Street car park at School Place fell foul of the stormy conditions in Orkney today.

The council is taking steps to secure the area by closing off the footpaths and would ask folk to avoid the area for their own safety.

They also urge folk to take extra case when driving in case of any debris on the roads.

The message remains – stay home if you are able.
