Gritters out once again as fresh batch of snow expected in Wokingham

Primary and secondary road networks across Wokingham will be gritted this afternoon and again this evening as a fresh batch of snow is expected tonight.

Salt will be spread on more than 200 miles of local roads from 2.30pm and then again at 6.30pm in an effort to keep the borough's busiest roads open during a period of inclement weather which is expected to bring with it between two and five-centimetres of snow.
