Wigan motorists are advised to use different routes as a fallen tree blocks a road near Haigh Woodland Park
A fallen tree is blocking a road close to a popular Wigan park.
Strong winds hit the borough – and large parts of the UK – on Thursday, causing a tree to fall on New Road in Haigh.
It has affected access to Haigh Woodland Park, with visitors urged to choose a different route when travelling there.
A post on the park’s Facebook page said: “A fallen tree is currently blocking New Road at Haigh. Our team have been informed and the job is scheduled for clearance as soon as resources are available.
“Please note that this may not be resolved until tomorrow, depending on weather and ground conditions.
“In the meantime, we ask visitors to avoid the area and use alternative routes around the estate.”
