All schools in East Dubartonshire are to remain closed on Friday as Storm Eowyn brings "very strong winds" in excess of 80mph.

The council announced its decision on Thursday afternoon. They said: "The Met Office has issued a red weather warning for dangerous winds during Storm Éowyn, which include the East Dunbartonshire Council, area from 10am-5pm tomorrow.

"As a result, the Council has taken the decision to close all schools and Early Years Centres on Friday.

"We felt it was best to take an early decision to allow children, families and workers as much time as possible to prepare.

"Plans will be put in place today for online learning so that pupils can study at home.

"Families with pupils who are entitled to free school meals will receive a direct payment to their bank account as soon as possible to cover the closure.

"We understand the impact this may have on parents and carers but the safety of our young people, their families and employees is paramount."

The Met Office issued the rare red weather warning for “very strong winds” that could present a “danger to life”. The warning is in force from 10am until 5pm.

The Met Office said that the storm could cause a "danger to life" over flying debris", very dangerous driving conditions with fallen trees on roads, power cuts, damage to buildings and homes and roads, bridges and railway lines could close.

A Met Office forecaster said: "Southwesterly then westerly winds will rapidly increase from west to east Friday mid-morning onwards into the afternoon, with peak gusts of 80-90mph fairly widely and perhaps up to 100mph along exposed western coasts.

"This brings the risk of significant disruption to transport and power supplies as well as dangerous conditions outdoors. Winds will gradually ease through Friday evening."

In addition, a yellow weather warning for snow is in place between 6am and midnight on Friday. A forecaster added: "Outbreaks of rain spreading northeastwards on Friday morning will fall as snow initially, especially on hills, before reverting to rain and eventually easing.
