Gritting lorries out in force as temperatures continue to drop
By Layth Yousif 14th Jan 2024
Gritters will be out tonight across Herts and Beds as temperatures continue to drop.
Roads carrying the highest volumes of traffic, with the greatest risk of accidents or providing key access are given priority.
These include all A&B roads and most smaller roads, especially if they are busy commuter routes, routes to hospitals, schools, or key to the emergency services.
Sunday evening (January 14) will see increasingly clear skies, with very little cloud remaining by the early hours and near dawn.
It will be a dry night for most parts of Herts and Beds with temperatures dropping below freezing.
Central Bedfordshire Council have confirmed that they are set to grit major roads from 6pm, while Stevenage Borough Council will be gritting from 9pm.
