The council has reopened a Derbyshire A-road this afternoon – with the route having been closed for several days after facing snow and icy weather this week.

A Derbyshire County Council spokesperson said: “We've just re-opened the Cat and Fiddle A537. It is passable with care so please do drive to the conditions.

“As we are expecting another very cold night our gritting crews will be out from 1.00pm treating all primary and secondary routes. They will then grit all primary and secondary routes from 2.00am tomorrow morning (Friday, January 10).

“We are putting down more grit as the temperatures are forecast to be very low. This means that we can't do a whole route on one lorry full of grit, with the crews having to return to their depots to refill. Gritting rounds therefore will take longer to complete.”
