Snow situation update from Camden Council below as of a couple of hours ago. Staff are working very hard, but obviously there have to be priorities in the maintenance plan, we are not paying as taxpayers to have huge resources on standby for heavy snow, so there is inevitably some disruptions. Any Swiss Cottage/West End Lane area residents with specific concerns, please get in touch and I will try and get specific problems sorted. Please also look at the Council's winter weather pages which are being regularly updated.
"All the main priority routes in Camden are now running freely except Fitzjohns Avenue which staff have been working on this evening. Earlier in the day the weather caused traffic to come to a standstill and this meant that our gritting lorries were unable to get access to priority roads. The police have assisted us in managing the traffic to gain access.
Over the last two days we have spread nearly 200 tonnes of grit and our staff will be out gritting priority roads throughout the night. Side roads will not be gritted so remain hazardous. Some priority pavement areas have been gritted but most pavements will not have been.
The weather for tonight is predicted to get to -7 but no snow is forecast so conditions will be hazardous tomorrow too."
