A clean-up operation is underway in Bromley, after Storm Isha saw 25 emergency incidents declared across the borough.

High winds brought by the storm have eased, but the aftermath requires extensive efforts to clear fallen trees and scattered debris.

Around 25 emergency incidents were caused by the storm, with Bromley Council working through the night to clear up the roads.

The council's 'tree team' remain on standby in case of any more fallen trees.

Southborough Lane, where a tree fell across the road overnight, remains closed between Southborough Road and Salisbury Road.

The size of this particular tree means that specialist lifting equipment is required to clear the road.

Bromley Council's Executive Councillor for Environment, Councillor Will Rowlands, said: "Whilst our borough did not experience quite the intensity and strength of winds elsewhere in the country, we once again clearing away the effects of the Storm Isha and remaining on standby should today’s winds cause further damage."

He added: "In the days to come, our street cleaning crews will spend quite some time clearing smaller debris, such as the smaller twigs etc which will amount to tens of tonnes no doubt and is a major job."

The clean-up process extends beyond the council, as additional contractor crews have been called in to help with the operations.

They have been tasked with clearing the fallen trees or loose branches and similar debris.

Councillor Rowlands said: "I would like to thank the crews who were working overnight as well as the crews tackling the remaining issues today.

"In these type of emergency situations, we always ask people to report tree emergencies by phone so we can prioritise in live time and this really helps."

A 'tree emergency'—be it blocking roads or leaning dangerously—can be reported to the council on 0300 303 8658.

Most other reports, if not urgent, should be submitted via the council website.

While several of the fallen trees originated from private properties, the council reassured residents that it had addressed these emergencies promptly and shall follow up with the owners subsequently.
