Gritter teams out in Shropshire tonight as temperatures plunge - but is your road set to be salted?
Gritting teams will be slipping out of their depots in Shropshire from 3am on Tuesday as temperatures are set to fall in the county.
Shropshire Council also sent out four mini-gritters from 8pm on Monday to treat car parks.
The council said in a statement: "When ice or snow is predicted, pre-salting is carried out over priority roads, referred to as the defined network.
"This is around 28 per cent of the total road network in Shropshire, and includes:
All A- and B-roads
Localised high-risk sites and important access routes
Major town centre shopping areas
Heavily used footways and cycle routes - during periods of prolonged sub-zero temperatures"
To see which roads will be gritted, see Shropshire Council's online map.
