Inclement Weather Warning

We are sure that you have seen the news and experienced the freezing temperatures as of late. We have already seen several roads close - including the M54 in Shropshire and the M5 in Gloucestershire. Moreover, trains across the country are being delayed with varying severity.

We ask that you allow extra time when planning or doing a movement and ensure you bring winter essentials with you such as warm waterproof layers, a torch, a fully charged mobile battery pack, high vis and a flask of hot drink.

Take heed of warning lights in vehicles, as breakdowns invariably spike with inclement weather. 

Be mindful of hazard, such as black ice on frosty mornings, as this can prove lethal if you don’t adjust your speed and driving style in colder weather.

A reminder that stopping distances can be 10x longer on icy roads too. Never drive until you have fully defrosted your vehicle. 

Please stay safe
