Emergency Response

We have a robust and proven 24 hour emergency response procedure to assist with fallen trees.

This enables us to respond quickly in our fully equipped emergency call out response vehicles and liaise with the emergency services and Highways Agency as necessary.

We have an extensive resource of equipment so may deploy specialist plant such as a  grab wagon or MEWP to simply lift a fallen limb or tree off the ground or cut back from the carriageway, make the scene safe and move on in the immediate-term, rather than expose staff to risk from extreme weather. 

If necessary, we will deal with traffic management at the incident by setting out signs and cones in order to provide road users and pedestrians with as much warning of the hazard as possible.
