Be prepared      

The UK’s Met Office has issued a yellow ‘be aware’ winter weather warning for most of the country. In light of this, there are some simple steps that can be taken in the event of winter weather:

Snow or Ice

• Avoid travelling if possible, but if you have to make a journey, take a phone, warm clothes, food, water, boots, torch and a spade with you. Also let someone know the route you’ll be taking and your estimated arrival time at your destination.
• Grit staff and customer parking and pedestrian access routes within your property.

 Windstorm

• To help prevent windstorm damage to items in the open and surrounding areas, ensure they are secured, covered or moved indoors.

Close and securely fasten doors, windows and shutters.
