The tree came down late last night at Marshbrook and the road has been closed as a precaution and to let BT engineers repair the line.

Police inspector Mark Reilly said a member of the public called at 11.15pm to say there were wires entangled in the tree.

Officers called highways bosses and BT to assist.
