Updated Amber Warning

🟠 Updated Amber Weather Warning 🟠

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE AMBER WARNING HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO 11PM. THE YELLOW WARNING REMAINS IN PLACE FROM 11PM – 11.59PM.

A number of services were already restricted as a result of the public holiday (communicated in detail earlier this week). All other services are expected to be operational. You will be contacted if there is any change to a planned appointment or if we have to alter times to visits to avoid the stormiest periods during the weather warning. Please only travel if there is an urgent need to do so and do not travel if you consider it is not safe to do so. If you are unable to attend a scheduled appointment, please contact the relevant service to let them know.
