Congleton has been issued with a yellow weather warning due to strong winds from Storm Éowyn. 

And several roads in the area are closed while Cheshire East's highways department deals with 'weather-related' issues.

Tunstall Road in Congleton is now open but Macclesfield Road in Eaton is closed while weather issues are dealt with.

The yellow warning means that some damage to buildings, power cuts, flying debris and travel disruption are all possible. 

The Met Office - which issued the warning - said there was a chance of medium impact, but that this was a 'low likelihood' and will be in place until Saturday.

The warning will remain in place until 11.59pm today (Friday 24 January).

The wind is such that the temperature feels like 1°C - although the actual temperature this morning is around 7°C

Much stronger winds are expected in parts of Scotland and Ireland. The Met Office has issued a red warning for these areas. 

The Met Office advises securing loose items left outside, and planning before you travel. 

Cheshire East's Ansa has also given advice about bin collections. " Due to the anticipated high winds, once your bin has been emptied, please bring it back in as soon as you can."
