Bad weather
During periods of bad weather, this page will provide updates on any interruptions to our services such as events and activities, housing repairs and bin collections. We also recommend that residents and local businesses keep up-to-date with the following information:
- Gritting, grit bins and staying warm - Derbyshire County Council (DCC) is responsible for gritting the road network and for grit bins in South Derbyshire. Its Snow Info page provides details of these and offers advice on ways to keep warm.
- Weather forecast - The Met Office provides regular forecasts and warnings for the East Midlands.
- Information on driving in winter weather conditions can be found on the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) website.
- Local schools - Bad weather may result in some schools being closed. For the latest information on school closures, please listen to your local radio station or check the DCC Snow Info page.
- You can plan bus and train journeys from and to a particular destination through Traveline.
