GRITTERS have been working through the night to clear snow off city streets. 

The vehicles have been out three times in the last 24 hours and twice in the last 12 hours working to remove snow from Worcester.

All primary and secondary roads are running smoothly as well as some key areas such as around schools. 

In a statement from Worcestershire County Council, a spokesperson said: "Our gritting teams have been out twice on Worcestershire’s roads in the last 12 hours.  

"The first run at 7.30 pm yesterday evening was followed by a further run at 2 am this morning with snow ploughs fitted around 6 am on higher ground.  

"All the primary and secondary roads are running freely and we’ve cleared some key areas, around schools for example.  

"Drivers still need to take care on the narrower, minor roads which haven’t been treated."
