A MONMOUTH town councillor has praised workers from Monmouthshire County Council for their speedy and effective clean-up after Storm Arwen.

Whilst not the most severe weather Monmouth has had in recent years, a number of trees in the area have blown over causing problems. The A40 underpass to Beach Road was blocked by a fallen tree, making access difficult for those on mobility scooters. Cllr Emma Bryn said on social media: “Shoutout to MCC who quickly cleared away a fallen tree blocking a path this morning.”
