In photos: Storm Lilian batters West Leeds

Storm Lilian has battered Leeds, leaving behind a trail of destruction this morning.

Trees were blown down, roads blocked and public transport disrupted as a yellow warning for severe weather was issued across northern England and north Wales until 11am on Friday, bringing gusts of up to 60mph.

The strong winds and heavy rain has caused widespread traffic and travel disruption this morning.

Community reporter Kelvin Wakefield captured the chaos in Bramley – see a slideshow of his photos below:

Saturday’s Bramley parkrun has been cancelled, although Armley’s 250th parkrun is unaffected in Armley Park.
