The entrance drive to the centre has now been cleared although the road from Bryansford to Hilltown remains closed. NIE will be required to clear the road as a number of trees have fallen across the power lines.
However, the forested area around the carpark is potentially very dangerous - there are many fallen trees, with others leaning precariously, as well as a lot of storm debris lying around the site. PLEASE DO NOT GO INTO ANY OF THE FOREST AREAS AROUND THE CAR PARK AND CENTRE UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.
