This storm on Friday 18th of February was one of the fiercest in the UK for many years. It took down several trees, mainly on the area to the west of Harpenden Road. The biggest was this near the entrance to Spinney Lane. Luckily, there were no leaves on the trees, otherwise damage could have been more widespread. The tree was blocking Spinney Lane, but has now been cleared.
Smaller trees/branches have also fallen too:
There were many smaller sticks scattered around, and these would have been very dangerous for anyone walking past. Most damage took place in the early morning.
