MORE than 80 trees have fallen across the Bradford district during wind chaos caused by Storm Lilian today.

Strong winds have wreaked havoc on roads and property across the district and Bradford Council crews have been working to deal with the fallen trees, as well as damage caused to properties.

A Bradford Council spokesperson said: “Our teams have received reports of over 80 fallen trees and damage to properties across the district.

"They are working hard, prioritising and dealing with them as quickly as possible but it may take a while for everything to be cleared.

“Our main priorities when dealing with severe weather is the safety of our residents and keeping the highways clear for emergency services.

“It is also taking longer than usual for our waste collection crews to empty bins in affected areas and we ask that residents bear with us.”
