There's already been sleet across Salisbury this morning and the Met Office is urging us to take extra care on the roads.

Meanwhile further icy conditions are expected from 10 am tomorrow ( 30th Dec) through until Thursday morning.

Wiltshire Council's team of 26 gritters are ready to keep the roads clear.

The council has 13,000 tonnes of salt in stock strategically placed throughout the county in six storage sites. It also has weather stations in key areas that provide real-time information and assist in producing accurate forecasts to ensure gritters are sent out at the right time.
