Snow Updates

Find out information about the snowy and icy weather!

The office team is closely monitoring the weather forecasts throughout the day to ensure we are prepared for snow and icy conditions. The Management and Supervisory team have worked hard to ensure contingency plans are in place, meaning we can act quickly and effectively should our rounds be impacted upon by winter weather. 

At the moment, the biggest risk seems to be Thursday evening (31st of January), into Friday morning. With snow currently forecast from 13:00pm thursday afternoon, right through until 13:00pm Friday afternoon, which could cause disruption.
