New wind warning in place for Milton Keynes on Sunday and Monday

    Further periods of strong winds are expected across much of England including Milton Keynes on Sunday and Monday.

    A new weather warning has been put in place as strong winds are set to blow over Milton Keynes and most of England in the afternoon tomorrow (20/2) and Monday (21/2).

    The warning suggests winds could reach up to 70mph in some parts of the country, with speeds of up to 55mph predicted for Milton Keynes.

    This comes as record-breaking winds swept across the country yesterday, wreaking havoc nationwide.

    In Milton Keynes, some schools moved to online learning and train services were forced to stop as Storm Eunice damaged the tracks and power lines.

    Tips in Milton Keynes were also forced to close alongside some retail shops, restaurants, hair salons and more.

    South Central Ambulance Service, covering Milton Keynes and surrounding areas declared a critical incident at around 3pm as a result of the demand on its 999 service combined with travel disruption from the impact of Storm Eunice.

    The Trust said saw higher demand above what is normally expected at this time of year and patients were waiting longer due to the disruption to the regions road system through road, bridge and other closures impacting their response times.

    The V7 Saxon Street was also forced to closed between H9 Groveway and H10 Bletcham Way as roofing from the Domino's office in West Ashland was blown away.

    For tomorrow and Monday's warning, residents are being warned to take care and plan ahead when travelling. 

    Many train services are still disrupted as a clean up takes place from yesterday's storm.
