So sorry to hear this, but totally understand
Bridgnorth Town Council has reluctantly decided to cancel the Christmas Lights Switch-on event on Friday 6th December 2024 due serious safety concerns as a result of expected 30 β 40 MPH winds.
The lights will now be switched on at a suitable point during the weekend, when it is safe to do so.
The MET Office has issued an βamberβ * warning for the region.
* Strong winds associated with Storm Darragh likely leading to some disruption and damage.
What should I expect?
ο§ There is a slight chance of some damage to buildings, such as tiles blown from roofs
ο§ It is likely that some roads and bridges could close, with impacts from falling trees
ο§ There is a slight chance that power cuts may occur, with the potential to affect other services, such as mobile phone coverage
ο§ There is a small chance of injuries and danger to life from flying debris
ο§ There is likely to be longer journey times or cancellations as road, rail, air and ferry services are affected
