idverde Responds to Storm Darragh Impact Across the UK

Storm Darragh recently swept across the UK, bringing fierce winds and heavy rainfall that have caused significant disruption, particularly in the South West and other severely affected regions. The storm has resulted in numerous fallen trees, scattered debris, and hazardous conditions, impacting communities and public spaces alike.

At idverde, the safety and well-being of our communities are our top priorities. Since the storm passed, our dedicated grounds maintenance teams have been diligently working to clear debris, remove fallen trees, and restore safe access to parks, streets, and other public areas.

Danny Mitchell, Managing Director at idverde, said; “It’s great to see the fantastic work our teams have done over the weekend. Firstly, making the roads and public open spaces safe, and then the subsequent clean-up that will continue throughout the week. With storms like these, it takes an extra effort from all involved, and I’m really pleased to see that all of the teams have risen to the challenge.”

Locations affected include, but are not limited to: Ironbridge, Horsehay, Brookside, Ketley, and Newport.

Our crews worked 15 hours on Saturday and 10 hours on Sunday, attending around 80 reports, with over 100 more on Monday. The clean-up will continue past Christmas. Well done team for your dedication and professionalism in swiftly reopening roads.

In the South West, where the impact of Storm Darragh has been especially severe, idverde crews have been collaborating closely with local councils and community organisations to ensure efficient and effective clean-up operations. Our teams are also extending their support to recovery efforts in other regions across the UK that have been hardest hit by the storm.
