Storm Babet claimed at least seven lives across the UK.
Roads are beginning to reopen after Storm Babet hit Scotland, as more than £32,000 was raised by wellwishers to help residents of flood-hit Brechin.
A GoFundMe page set up by Brechin Flood Relief has so far raised £32,369 to help families who were not covered by insurance, and one person even offered an empty flat for people left homeless.The gym at Brechin Community Campus was “half full” of items donated to help families in need. In Brechin, East Mill Road is shut, along with the A933 at Brechin Bridge while the B9134 Forfar to Brechin road has yet to reopen, and several rural roads are completely shut.
“Brechin is the most fabulous community and we know people want to help those in need who due to reasons not of their making, have had their lives devastated.”Angus Council posted on Facebook: “On the advice of the roads service and partner agencies, access to Aberlemno Primary School via the B9134 Aberlemno to Brechin is no longer judged to be safe.
