The road between Marlborough and Pewsey – the A345 – is likely to be closed for most, if not all of today (Thursday 21 October) due to an ash tree having fallen and blocked the road.
It appears to have been a very mature and diseased ash tree that fell, no doubt ‘helped’ by Wednesday night’s heavy rain and wind.
Police have estimated that it will take most of the day to clear so that anyone looking to travel between Marlborough and Pewsey would be advised to use an alternative route.
