WIND-BLOWN trees have blocked routes into Swindon this morning.
The B4005 Hodson Road has been partially blocked both ways by a fallen tree, although traffic is coping well.
The B4192 south of Liddington is partially blocked by a fallen tree at the Ridgeway. Police are on scene.
Whitehouse Road, Swindon, was partially blocked due to an accident involving a pedestrian and a car. However, traffic is understood to be coping well.
A police segeant for Royal Wootton Bassett said that the majority of calls his team received last night came as a result of high winds - with just two logged calls about "actual crime".
So, 14 logs since midnight in the @ChippenhamCPT & @RWBassettPolice areas. 9 of which are about trees blocking roads + 3 about other debris blocking roads. Only 2 logs about actual crime. #notjustcrime
