Roads across Chesterfield will be gritted this evening as temperatures are set to plummet towards freezing – with the council issuing a snow warning for parts of the Peak District.

Derbyshire County Council (DCC) has confirmed that is already gritting roads across the north of the county, before focusing on Chesterfield routes later today – with temperatures set to drop overnight.

A DCC spokesperson said: “As it is going to be a cold evening, our gritting teams are out now treating all primary and secondary routes in the north of the county, and will be out later on in the Chesterfield area.”
