Drivers in West Dunbartonshire warned of fallen trees on two busy roads

DRIVERS are being warned of fallen trees on two busy roads.

West Dunbartonshire Council (WDC) has received "several" reports of trees being brought down due to "strong winds" on Renton Road and the A82.

However, it is not specified where on the A82. 

The local authority confirmed it sent a team alongside Transport Scotland to remove the trees as soon as possible.

Motorists are being urged to take care when travelling in these areas.

A WDC spokesperson said: "We are aware of several reports of trees that have fallen due to the wind on both the Renton Road and the A82.

"Our team and Transport Scotland are working to have these removed as soon as possible. We urge residents to take care when travelling and apologise for any inconvenience caused."

It comes after several travel warnings were issued earlier today as Storm Ashley sweeps across Scotland.

A yellow weather warning for "strong winds" is in place for Glasgow and the surrounding areas from 3am until midnight.

The Met Office notes that 'disruption' is expected.
