    Drivers are being urged to be prepared before setting out on journeys today after Highways England have issued a severe weather alert for the North.

    Highways England’s gritting teams will be working around the clock to treat roads and keep them free from disruption.

     An amber warning for snow will be in place across the North West, Yorkshire and the North East between following a Met Office forecast of snow. 

    Chris Chadwick, Emergency Planning Officer at Highways England, said:  “Gritters are out treating our routes around the clock but it is still important to drive to the conditions when snow is forecast. If you need to travel make sure you keep your distance and reduce your speed because, even in conditions that seem normal and the snow is not settling, it can be slippery if ice patches have formed, or where fresh salt has not been worked into the carriageway. “Drivers should plan their journeys, monitor weather reports and pack a snow kit of blankets, food, water and a shovel if they really need to travel.”
