A snowy start for the first gritting run of the season in Worcestershire

WORCESTERSHIRE County Council gritting teams have been out twice on the counties roads in the last 12 hours.

The first run at 7.30pm yesterday evening was followed by a further run at 2am this morning with snow ploughs fitted around 6am on higher ground.

All the primary and secondary roads are running freely and the county council have cleared some key areas, around schools for example.

Drivers still need to take care on the narrower, minor roads which haven’t been treated.

A cold health amber alert has been issued for the West Midlands until 6 pm on 23 Nov.
