TREES were left strewn across the area after Thursday's high winds, with many causing damage to properties.

A 75ft tree landed on a building off West Street, in Cleethorpes, crushing a wall, while its roots lifted a shed from the ground.

Specialist firm Clee Tree Services was drafted in to dismantle the tree.

Business owner Ben Winson said: "There is a lot of damage that has been caused. We had to put off all of our other jobs to come straight down here on Friday.

"It has completely crushed a wall, knocked tiles off the roof of the building and lifted a shed from the ground.

"It will take a full day to dismantle the tree carefully to make sure there is no more damage."

A wall was flattened by the wind at the nearby Amber Guest House, in College Street, Cleethorpes.

Owner Gillian Borgfenech returned home to find the wind had blown down the wall at the front of the guest house.

"I didn't think the wall would fall in the wind, but I am relieved that nobody was hurt," she said.

"I am amazed at the amount of offers of help to repair things we have had from neighbours and friends."
