Dear Resident,
Over the next few days - it is warned that we will experience a slightly colder climate due to severe weather warnings nationally.
The West Midlands has been categorised as an Amber warning zone for snow and Ice.
This means snow and freezing rain will likely lead to disruption to transport and some other services - such as the following:
Travel delays on roads are likely, stranding some vehicles and passengers Some delays and cancellations to bus, rail and air travel are likely There is a good chance that some rural communities could become cut off Some road closures and longer journey times possible - Untreated pavements and cycle paths likely to be impassable There is a good chance that power cuts may occur, with the potential to affect other services, such as mobile phone coverage
If you must drive, do this more safely by: using dipped headlights; accelerating gently, using low revs and changing to higher gears as quickly as possible; starting in second gear to help with wheel slip; maintaining a safe and steady speed, keeping distance from other vehicles; using a low gear to go downhill, avoiding braking unless necessary; steering into skids, not taking your hands off the wheel, and avoiding slamming on brakes.
Just a gentle reminder to please stay safe on your journeys. | ||||
