GRITTERS will be out in Worcestershire this evening as temperatures plunge.

The gritting team will be out in Worcestershire this evening as temperatures drop to around zero.

The gritters will be out treating our primary routes from 6pm. Gritters will treat up to any flood road closures and will grit any signed diversion routes. Once reopened roads will be gritted, if needed.

A spokesperson for Ringway Worcestershire said yesterday: "Sunshine and showers this afternoon, with clear spells later. Road surface temperatures are predicted to dip to -0.4c, therefore our gritting team will be out from 6pm to treat all primary routes. Please travel carefully if you are out."
