Please also have a look at the Direct Gov Snow Code web site below, which you may find has some useful information and hints: https://www.gov.uk/clear-snow-road-path-cycleway
We also work closely with the local farmers and provide them with the necessary equipment in order to clear country lanes and act as extra resources when we are fully mobilised during a snow emergency.

Highways & Transportation will continue to work hard to keep the roads as safe and clear as possible; however, you can also help us in the following ways:
Drive to the conditions of the road at all times, especially during times of rain, ice and snow
If we do get snow on the roads, please don’t make any non-essential journeys
