Winter Weather Update Wednesday February 3, 12:30pm

All priority routes will be salted from 2pm this afternoon (Wednesday February 3). This action is being taken following forecasts for ice and snow (possibly heavy in places) in the Cheshire East area over the next 24 hours.

Our Highways Officers will monitor the weather conditions and and deploy gritting vehicles where necessary. Drivers are asked to take extra care at this time.

Report Highway Faults

Due to the recent severe weather conditions roads have been exposed to ‘freeze-thaw’ damage e.g. potholes. To report a highway fault, you can call the Highways Service on 0845 002 066 or report it online.
