Portable toilets near the King Alfred Leisure Centre have been brought down, as 60mph winds slammed Brighton through the night.

Pictures taken this morning show several cubicles toppled on Hove lawns, while crews from Brighton and Hove City council attempt to right them.

The temporary toilets were installed at various locations along the seafront last month, but some of the cabins were unable to withstand the overnight gusts

A yellow weather warning was issued by the Met Office yesterday.

Trees fell overnight and there were delays to road, rail, air and ferry transport.

The warning remains in place until 9.00pm this evening.

Large waves and sea spray are expected on the coast, while damage to outdoor structures is also possible, the Met Office has warned.

A spokesman from the Met Office said: "Windy weather may lead to some travel disruption and, perhaps, damage to temporary outdoor structures.

"It’s likely that some coastal routes, sea fronts and coastal communities will be affected by spray and or large waves.

"Delays for high-sided vehicles on exposed routes and bridges is also likely.

"It is probable that some bus and train services will be affected, with some journeys taking longer.

"Inland, gusts up to 45 to 50mph are expected at times whilst over coasts and hills gusts will reach as much as 55 to 60mph.

"These high winds then slowly ease from the west later on Friday."

In April, the city council announced the new toilets would remain available to the public every hour of every day in what was expected to be a busy bank holiday weekend.

They are cleaned three times a day at the weekends, bank holidays and school holidays, and twice on weekdays.

The 24 temporary toilets will be in place for 18 weeks until the beginning of September.
