Storm Amy response

The area was part of the yellow weather warning, and faced winds of up to 70 mph, which resulted in trees coming down, localised flooding and power cuts.
Staff from the council's Roads and Arborist teams worked overnight and throughout the weekend to clear up damage, and to make sure the network remained safe and accessible for local residents. 
Executive councillor for environment and sustainability Tom Conn said: "Thanks to all the council workers who braved the elements during Storm Amy making sure our roads and paths remained safe.
"West Lothian was fortunate to miss the worst of the high winds, but they were still strong enough to cause a number of incidents throughout the county.
"Our staff did a fantastic job in often challenging conditions, with clear-up work still ongoing."
A number of roads were temporarily closed to allow fallen trees to be removed, before the roads could be re-opened. The roads affected as listed below.
As of Monday 6 October, council arborists had a number of less urgent tasks outstanding, such as removing trees from footpaths and fences which were assessed as low-risk and able to be tackled later when resources were available.
All three of the council's country parks had trees come down in the storm, with Beecraigs as the highest and most exposed, being hardest hit. The Ranger Service are still assessing the damage and anyone visiting the parks are advised to take extra care.
Any local residents that spots issues with trees can report them via https://www.westlothian.gov.uk/article/75194/Tree-Related-Issues-and-Enquiries.
Other impacts included restoring the temporary traffic lights at the B8046 junction with Ochiltree, after the wind had blown them over and removing construction materials that had blown onto roads in Craigshill, Livingston from the new Lidl.
