Islanders are being urged to delay their morning journeys after winds of more than 70mph battered the island overnight, bringing down trees and debris.

The clean up is continuing, but  government officials say we should consider delaying our journey or working from home.

They say emergency services have been working through the night to clear roads across the island and make them safe.

"The clean-up work is continuing but there will be delays and disruption for commuters. Islanders are therefore being urged to delay their morning journeys and consider home-working wherever possible." - Government of Jersey.
