Scaffolding Chaos in Brighton as High Winds Hit
Sussex Police sprang into action after scaffolding was sent swinging dangerously in the heart of Brighton. The strong gusts blew parts of the structure loose, sparking immediate safety fears.
Russell Road Locked Down
To keep the public safe, officers quickly cordoned off Russell Road. They’re helping motorists and pedestrians escape the nearby multi-storey car park without incident. The priority: prevent injuries and manage a calm evacuation amid the wild weather.
Experts Scramble to Secure the Site
A contractor crew is now on site, checking the scaffolding’s stability and working fast to lock it down tight. Sussex Police have warned everyone to steer clear of the area while repairs are underway.
Official advice: Avoid Russell Road until the all-clear is given. This isn’t the time to take risks with Brighton’s blustery conditions.
