Trees down on Whiteknights campus

There are new storms forecast to hit the south of England. The University asks students and staff to:

• Keep to tarmacked footpaths.
• Do not enter any areas that have been cordoned off, as this will have been done to protect your safety. The University has closed paths at the highest risk of falling branches and trees.
• Contact the Estates & Facilities helpdesk if you discover fallen branches or other obstacles on 0118 378 7000 (or 0118 378 7799 for emergencies or out-of-hours issues).
• Take care when travelling to and from campus. If you are experiencing difficulties getting to campus please contact your Department or Line Manager as soon as possible.
