Wirral set for road closures tomorrow amid Storm Dudley and Storm Eunice

Two stretches of coastal road in Wirral will be closed tomorrow as stormy weather is set to hit the borough.

The Met Office has weather warnings in place for storms Dudley and Eunice as forecasts showed stormy weather hitting Merseyside last night and possibly lasting until the weekend.

Storm Dudley is the first of two storms set to arrive in Merseyside this week, with a yellow weather warning in place until tomorrow.

Storm Eunice is set to move in to replace Storm Dudley on Friday, bringing more strong winds and potentially some snow for parts of the UK.

A "danger to life" weather warning for the region has been issued by the Met Office as winds of up to 52mph are expected to sweep across the North West.

Wirral Council said that Harrison Drive to Rowson Street in New Brighton will be closed from 9.30am-4pm tomorrow.

Dee Lane and South Parade in West Kirby will be closed for the same period.

The decision to close the roads has been taken as a precautionary measure but access will remain for residents and businesses.

The local authority advised people to take care on the roads and avoid the shoreline and any woodland areas.

In a tweet this morning, Wirral Council said: “Please avoid placing household waste bins out at night to stop them blowing over. Instead, put them in their usual place by 7am on collection day.”

The tweet also said that Guinea Gap leisure pool in Seacombe is closed due to roof damage but is expected to reopen by half term. But the rest of the leisure centre is open.
