"We're ready," says council as Doncaster gets first taste of winter weather
City of Doncaster Council chiefs say they are prepared for winter after the city had its first taste of colder weather, with snow and ice across the region.
Authority chiefs say rock salt has been stockpiled and gritters are at the ready.
A spokesperson said: “With colder temperatures and snow falling in Doncaster, it’s safe to say that winter is now upon us.
“Rest assured that we are well-prepared for this situation and that our teams have been out gritting the roads ever since the beginning of the week.
"To ensure that we can keep everyone safe and moving, we are stocked with approximately 6,000 tonnes of rock salt, 190 grit bins, and a fleet of 13 gritting vehicles.
“While we are on top of the situation, please do take extra precautions when traveling during these colder months and when we are experiencing freezing conditions of this kind. Remember to leave extra time for your journeys, to defrost your car, and to always drive carefully.”
