Hazardous weather conditions close both piers in Bournemouth

Roy Martin

Bournemouth and Boscombe Piers have been closed due to hazardous weather conditions.

BCP Council says strong winds from Storm Henk mean the attractions will be closed for the rest of the day.

The Sandbanks Ferry has also been suspended, and there are reports of fallen trees around the area, including on Matchams Lane which is now closed as a result.

3.30pm Update: The Sandbanks Ferry is now running again.
