A436 in Gloucestershire Closed Due to Storm Damage

Several roads across the UK are facing closures due to severe weather and accidents. In Douglas, Quarterbridge Road is shut for tree felling following gale-force winds, expected to reopen by 3 PM. St Austell's A3058 Edgcumbe Road is closed after a vehicle crashed into a telegraph pole, causing traffic delays. Additionally, the B1078 Barking Road in Needham Market will be closed for 11 days starting January 6 for drainage work to mitigate flooding issues. In Gloucestershire, the A436 remains closed due to the aftermath of Storm Darragh, which knocked down trees; further tree felling is necessary, and the road is expected to reopen before Christmas. Local authorities are urging residents to keep vehicles clear of affected areas while diversions are in place.
