Police have closed a Cambridgeshire town centre road amid travel chaos caused by high winds during the ongoing Storm Dudley.

The Met Office announced today that high winds up to 95mph are set to batter the UK from this afternoon (February 16).

Cambridgeshire Police have just announced the closure of Station Road in March which is set to cause chaos during rush hour.

A police spokesperson said: “Due to a scaffolding issue and the winds, Station Road, March is closed from the traffic lights towards the Railway station.”

The road has since re-opened.

Meanwhile, elsewhere in town, one resident had their chicken coop crushed as a result of the high winds.

Birgit Holdsworth said: "The trees in Cawood close, March has long been regarded a danger by local residents because a lot of them are rotten.

"A few years ago a large branch broke off and nearly demolished someone's rabbit hutch and last night a massive one crushed our chicken coop."
