Civil Defence controller Dave Adamson says the ground crews
have worked very hard to do the necessary risk assessment to
enable people in these areas to return to their
properties.
“This is a significant step and we
appreciate everybody’s patience to date, and hope others
will take this as a sign that we are working as hard as
possible to make sure it is safe for them to return
home.”

following areas:
