The situation first thing this morning is as follows:

·         The main road network is clear and running fine. Four full gritting runs were undertaken during the weekend. The last was completed at 4am today.

·         Side roads and pavements remain very slushy. Temperatures will be around 4 degrees today so we expect a good amount of thaw.

·         Waste collections will happen as scheduled. Start time will be 9am rather than 7am to ensure better light.

·         The street cleansing operation is suspended with the operatives redeployed on pavement clearance. Town Centres, schools and medical centres are being prioritised.

·         Bulky waste collections and bin deliveries are also suspended to allow these operatives to be redeployed.
