Motorists are being warned of delays while engineers remove a dead tree that fell in Amersham this morning.

Transport for Buckinghamshire said the dead elm tree fell in the “early hours” of this morning onto the verge of the A413, London Road East.

National Grid engineers are on site and will be clearing the tree from the area this afternoon.

Traffic lights will be in place during this time and repairs to the gas main in the verge will be carried out.
