GRITTING MAP

The JPC have relieved a weather warning for the area over the next twenty-four hours –  heavy snow and drifting. Areas served by gritting lorries indicated in red. Please avoid making any journeys if possible, but if deemed necessary, exercise great caution.

According to the long range forecast we might be getting some bad weather.

 Here is Warwickshire’s advice for driving in bad weather:

 Never assume a road has been gritted.

Always remember that when driving in winter conditions you need to take extra care and drive slowly.

FOG

• Drive more slowly
• Use dipped headlights
• Use fog lights

SNOW
