'No council has the resources to grit and clear snow on every road'
Around 1,500 miles of Lancashire roads will be gritted tonight with temperatures set to drop below zero and heavy snow expected.
With snow, sleet and ice all expected, gritters are being deployed across Lancashire's main routes but Lancashire County Council says it cannot cover every road and that people should plan their journeys carefully. The authority says other roads which have not been treated "could be treacherous" and people are being asked to consider whether their journey is necessary before setting off.
County Councillor Rupert Swarbrick, cabinet member for highways and transport, said: "We're as well prepared as we can be to keep Lancashire's roads moving as we're hit by this wintry weather over the next couple of days, however conditions could be difficult at times particularly on Thursday morning as the snow and ice could affect people's morning journeys.
"Our highways teams will be doing their best to keep the main routes passable, but there is a limit to the effect that gritting the roads with salt will have if we get some periods of heavier snow. The salt helps to prevent moisture on the road from freezing but it won't make snow and ice instantly disappear.
