Sunderland City Council took a number of storm related call-outs during Storm Eunice on Friday, mainly relating to fallen trees and damage to buildings.
The impact of Storm Eunice coupled with Storm Dudley earlier in the week resulted in a number of damages across Wearside, including the closure of the northern section of Fawcett Street between St Thomas Street and High Street West, and the continued closure of the eastbound lane of the A183 Chester Road at the end of Croft Avenue.
The City Council understands the strategic importance of both these busy routes within the city's road network and is working to ensure they are reopened as soon as it is safe to do so.
