TREES have been coming down, tiles coming off roofs and fencing falling as Storm Ciara makes its presence felt across Wokingham Borough.

Gusts and heavy rain have been experienced this morning, causing a number of incidents.

Trains were delayed this morning after trees fell on the line between Wokingham and Ascot.

Speed restrictions are in place across the network, and tickets for today will be valid for tomorrow.

This came just hours after a lorry was hit by a falling tree on the A329m from Wokingham towards Reading, by the M4 slip roads.

Tiles on the road in Denmark Street

Tiles from buildings in Wokingham’s Denmark Street have been seen falling on to the road, along with building materials that have been blown around by the winds.

Fencing protecting land earmarked for new homes at Hatch Farm in Winnersh has also come down.
