Gritters out as snow falls in Lichfield and Burntwood

Gritters have been out across Lichfield and Burntwood as the area was hit by another bout of winter weather.

Snow fall has been forecast for most of Staffordshire for the next few days, with an amber warning issued by the Met Office.

Drivers are being warned to expect delays on roads this morning (March 22).

Mike Maryon, Staffordshire County Council’s highways chief, said: “The weather forecasters are predicting heavy snow from the early hours and this, together with strong winds, is likely to cause some disruption on our roads.

“Our gritting teams will be out once again doing a sterling job in what looks likely to be quite treacherous conditions and will be doing their very best to clear the roads.

“Our message is to stay at home if you can, but if you do need to travel make sure you are properly prepared for the journey, check the weather forecast and listen to local radio for updates.”
