A spokesman for the council said: “Those evacuated from affected locations remain so and have been provided with all necessary support until they can return to their premises while work to rectify issues continues. Winds are expected to continue to calm over the coming days and tide heights are set to reduce which should lead to more settled conditions, aiding the recovery process.
