World News – GB – 18 shopping carts caught in river as Environment Agency prepares for Storm Alex

Storm Alex's preparations had a welcome side effect when 18 shopping carts were pulled from the Don River in West Boldon

The agency tries to ensure that waterways and their litter screens, the mesh that prevents waste from moving downstream, are free of litter and debris in the event of inclement weather causing blockages or flooding

While doing this work, two of the organization’s field operations officers found and removed the carts

The Met Office issued a yellow warning for heavy rain on Saturday October 3 and Sunday October 4, as the storm hits the northeast after arriving from France

Storm Alex is also expected to bring high winds to much of the country as it crosses the English Channel
