The Met Office have issued an amber weather warning for very strong winds, of up to 70mph across our regions.

Wind speeds are expected to increase Thursday evening and peak on Friday 17th February, starting early in the morning and lasting all day and into the evening.

National Powegrid has said its electricity network is operating as normal, however, wanted to reassure Doncaster residents that they are closely monitoring the weather across its operating areas, and its teams are ready and prepared to respond if this weather has any impact on the network.
