Marks & Spencer has announced the temporary closure of several South West branches due to Storm Eunice, including all of its larger Bristol branches.
Its stores at Cribbs Causeway, Longwell Green, Eastgate, Yate, Imperial Park in Harcliffe, Avonmeads and Whiteladies Road will all be closed tomorrow morning (Friday, February 18), when the storm is expected to be at its most fierce. It is unclear if its smaller shops at Temple Meads and the Bristol Royal Infirmary will be affected.
Storm Eunice has been declared a 'major incident' in Avon and Somerset and schools have announced closure tomorrow, as well as major attractions, libraries and park cafes. Bin collections have also been postponed and buses have been cancelled. The Met Office has issued a rare red warning for wind between the hours of 7am tomorrow and midday.
