A major road through Powys is closed this morning after because of unstable trees left in the wake of Storm Goretti.

The A483 is shut between Newtown and Crossgates, Traffic Wales says, with traffic being diverted towards the A470 at Llangurig.

The A483 has also one lane closed between Garthmyl and Berriew after because of a fallen tree.

Traffic Wales' post said: "#A483 Both directions Crossgates - Newtown.

"Incident unstable Trees at Llanbadarn Fynydd Road closed Diversion A470 Llangurig. Allow extra travel time."

Dyfed-Powys Police's warning not to travel unless it is an "extremely essential" journey, is still in place across Mid Wales this morning.

The warning was issued for Powys and Ceredigion.

Police said: "Due to extreme weather conditions across the county, leading to numerous incidents, please do not take any journey unless extremely essential."
