Cabinet member for Highways in Powys , Liam Fitzpatrick , just stated,
" We are expecting adverse weather tonight and tomorrow and have decided that all school transport will not run and that staff should not travel by car unless necessary .
This is rare but with an expected minus eight tonight and freezing ice on our roads - it is imperative that everyone is safe rather than at risk . I would very much appreciate everyone's help in this regard as I know that some people do not have social media accounts or may not be contactable by mobile phones .Our highways staff are working around the clock to clear ice and snow from primary routes and are working closely with all other agencies to assist any vulnerable adults or children .
Full details of out of hours emergency phone numbers are available on our winter gritting webpage on our website . " More stories
