All schools will be open tomorrow (Wednesday), it was announced today by the Department of Education.

But the public access to Elbow Beach will be closed until further notice because the steps down to the beach have been washed away leaving a dangerous drop.

Horseshoe Beach, Warwick Long Bay and John Smith’s Bay are all open although there has been major erosion of the beach sand leaving exposed rock in some areas, a Government spokesman said.

The Botanical Gardens will be closed to the public as there is a large amount of debris from trees and Parks Department staff are working on other affected areas and will no tbe able to start clearing it until later in the week.

Coopers Island will also remain closed until the Parks Department have assessed the park and cleared debris from roadways.

The cliffs at Astwood Park suffered severe erosion in places and while the park is open the public is asked to use caution around the cliffs, the spokesman said.
