DEVON County Council engineers have cleared the land slip at the junction of Deep Lane and Tower Gardens which occurred earlier today, Saturday, January 24.

There is still some mud on the roadway and motorists are advised to drive with care.

There were a number of trees brought down locally brought down by the heavy winds of Storm Ingrid (named by IPMA, the Portuguese Met Service).

Between Chenson and Lapford, blocking both lanes, a tree came down across the A377.

It was cleared at about 9.30am.

During part of that time, the Chawleigh to Witheridge road was also closed and was being cleared.

Between 10.30pm on Friday, January 23 and the early hours of this morning, a tree came down in New North Road, Exeter, near the junction of Streatham Drive in Exeter.

It was just passable with care until removed.

A walk-in grow house/greenhouse was blown from a garden into the rear of Crediton Rugby Club.

There has also been some flooding issues and a great deal of surface water on local roads.

Compared to other areas in Devon, the Crediton and Mid Devon area appeared to escape the worst of the storm.

A new yellow weather warning for rain for Cornwall, Devon and South Wales takes effect from 6pm on Monday, January 26 until 2pm on Tuesday, January 27.

“Outbreaks of heavy rain could result in some flooding in disruption,” a spokesperson for the Met Office said.

The Met Office expects rainfall totals to reach 20-30 mm widely, with 50-80 mm likely across higher ground, especially Dartmoor.

With wet conditions prior to this period, the rain will fall onto saturated ground, accentuating flooding impacts in places. Strong southeasterly winds are also likely.

A yellow weather warning for rain is already in place until 10pm this evening, Saturday, January 24 as the high winds from Storm Ingrid ease off.
