The gritters will be out in force tonight as predictions of ice and frost are forecast across East Lancs.

Lancashire County Council have released a statement saying all priority routes in Accrington, Burnley and Rossendale will be gritted from 7pm.

Those travelling on East Lancs roads are asked to view LCC's online gritting map for details of priority routes.

Council bosses would like to remind people that priority routes only cover a third of the highway network and ice patches can easily develop on untreated surfaces, so drivers are advised to take extra care when travelling.
