Dear Team, As we approach the festive season, I wanted to take a moment to extend my warmest wishes to each of you. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! I am pleased to announce that we have transferred a contribution to the managers for all staff to enjoy a Christmas get-together. Whether you choose to have a takeaway night, an event, or any other form of celebration, we hope you have a wonderful time. In the spirit of the season, we have also decided to make this year more environmentally sustainable. Instead of spending on Christmas cards, we will be donating that amount to a charity. A poll will be sent out shortly from @Elaine Cole for you to vote on which charity to support. The charity with the most votes will receive our donation. I want to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you for your tremendous hard work and dedication throughout the year.

Storm Darragh Yellow weather warning ! ⚠️ Please take caution if out travelling 05.12.24 - 08.12.24 An area of low-pressure, now named Storm Darragh, is expected to move east across central areas of the British Isles later Friday before moving into the North Sea on Saturday, as it heads south east towards the Low Countries and then further into Continental Europe Sunday. Much of 6th December should be fine and dry with a few sunny spells. After sunset, cloud and rain will arrive and should clear overnight with a scattering of showers in places. Strong south or south westerly winds will accompany the rain but these become less blustery when the rain clears. By Saturday – Storm Darragh – is expected to move south eastwards, close to our region, with some showers or rain are likely. Wind will quickly pick up from a north or north easterly direction. We could see gusts of 40 to 50mph quite widely with some gusts of around 60mph, perhaps most likely but not exclusively, along exposed coasts. A Met Office Yellow Warning for Wind includes all of our region and many other parts of the UK – and is valid from 1500 Friday until 0600 Sunday. This warning brings a Very Low Likelihood of Medium Impacts which potentially include disruption to transport, difficult driving conditions, isolated flooding of homes and businesses, isolated structural damage, isolated power cuts and spray and/or large waves along the coast. We could also see damaged or fallen trees in the strong winds. Given the time of year, there may also be impacts on temporary structures, Christmas decorations and festive events. Sunday is expected to see frequent showers blowing in on what could be damaging gusts of wind from the north or northeast – and perhaps more especially across eastern areas. These showers could lead to local surface water flooding. The wind should gradually become less strong during the day. Monday should see fewer showers as winds continuing to become less blustery. Indeed, many places could stay generally dry with a few sunny spells developing. High pressure is then expected to develop and could dominate our weather for much of next week – and offer a respite from the very unsettled conditions.
