Gritters have been out in force across Staffordshire as freezing temperatures continue.
A yellow weather warning for ice remains across the country and drivers are being reminded to take extra care.
Cllr David Williams, cabinet member for highways and transport, said:
“Last night and this morning saw more busy shifts for our gritting crews, right across the county.
“With freezing temperatures expected to continue into next week and the risk of snow showers, crews remain well prepared and ready for further action.
“With our fleet of more than 40 gritters and plenty of grit stockpiled, we are able to keep the county moving. We’ll continue to monitor conditions and grit as required.
“As always, I would ask that drivers take extra care when on the roads, slow down and allow more time for their journeys.
“And, if we do see snow, it’s even more important that people drive to the conditions.”
Cllr David Williams, Staffordshire County Council
