PEDESTRIANS are being urged to take care on the footpaths and drivers on the roads after the Met Office warned Bromsgrove and South Birmingham could get some sleet and snow first thing tomorrow morning.

Sleet is forecast for the areas from 3am, changing to light snow from 5am to 8am.

Gritting teams will be out and about to treat major A roads and motorways.

Highways England’s Head of Road Safety, Richard Leonard, said:“Our gritter drivers will be out treating our roads around the clock but it is still important to drive to the conditions when snow is forecast.




“Make sure you keep your distance and reduce your speed if you need to travel because, even in conditions that seem normal and when the snow is not settling, it can be slippery if ice patches have formed, or where fresh salt has not been worked into the carriageway.”
