The recent snowfall has caused chaos on the towns roads with reports of a jack-knifed lorry on Wakefield Road on Tuesday as well as several abandoned cars around the town. The District Council are concentrating on clearing the primary routes and further information can be obtained from their website www.wakefield.gov.uk . The best advice is to stay at home unless your journey is essential and to check before trying to travel to appointments with hospital and doctors etc as appointments are being cancelled in non emergency cases.
School closure information is also available from the District Council website and from Ridings FM www.ridingsfm.co.uk .
For gritting requests you should telephone 0845 8 506 506 who will deal with requests in order of urgency.
