A STREET IN the centre of Drogheda is closed to traffic as council crews deal with ‘pulled-down’ Christmas lights.
Louth County Council said the incident happened at the junction of West St/Peter’s St/Laurence’s St in Drogheda.
Capping from a building fell and this in turn pulled down Christmas lights on the street.
The junction is currently closed to traffic while the area is made safe and Council crews are on site to manage traffic and clean up debris.
The public has been asked to avoid the area if possible.
Louth is one of five counties currently under a Status Yellow wind warning.
This alert came into place at 11am this morning and will remain in place until 5pm this evening.
Met Éireann had warned of strong to gale force and gusty southeasterly winds, which could potentially result in difficult travelling conditions, debris, and loose objects becoming displaced.
