GRITTERS will be out on Worcestershire's roads tonight as freezing conditions take hold once more.

Worcestershire County Council's gritting fleet will be treating primary and secondary routes from 6pm as overnight temperatures are set to plummet to -6 degrees centigrade.

Drivers are once again being urged to drive carefully and carry out maintenance checks on their vehicles before they set off.

The council's Twitter account has jumped into Gritter Twitter mode for a fourth year and updates can be found at twitter.com/worcscc.

More information can also be found via a dedicated section of the council's website at worcestershire.gov.uk/gritting
