Warnings as snow falls in west of England

Residents in the west of England have been urged to take caution as heavy snow falls across the region. The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for snow and ice, with temperatures expected to drop below freezing overnight.

Drivers are being advised to only travel if absolutely necessary, and to take extra care on the roads. Public transport services may also be disrupted, so commuters are advised to check for any delays or cancellations before setting out on their journeys.

It’s important to wrap up warm and take measures to protect your home from the cold weather. Ensure your heating is working properly and consider leaving taps dripping to prevent pipes from freezing.

Remember to check on elderly or vulnerable neighbours who may need extra support during this cold snap. And if you’re out and about, be sure to wear appropriate footwear to prevent any slips or falls on icy surfaces.
