What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Renfrewshire Council failed to activate flood defenses in Renfrew during Storm Boelo. This allowed the River Clyde to burst through, causing extensive water ingress damage to the Renfrew Bridge. The bridge, which is valued at £117 million, was forced to close to road traffic for months while repairs were carried out due to damage to its electronic operating systems.
