Surrey Police is reminding residents and visitors to the area to stay safe, keep warm and look after vulnerable and elderly neighbours and relatives as the adverse weather conditions remain throughout the area.

During the evening and overnight several inches of snow have fallen across the county which have caused travel problems in some areas, however most roads are passable with care.

Detective Superintendent Ray Marley, said: “Most people have listened to early weather warnings which has meant traffic problems have been kept at a minimum throughout the county as the adverse weather conditions set in over the weekend.

“I would urge people to only make essential journeys and to allow additional time to get to their destination.

“I would also like to ask people to check on elderly and vulnerable neighbours, friends or relatives and make sure they are safe and warm.”

Surrey Police is working closely with partner agencies to make sure disruption is kept to a minimum during the cold snap and would like to thank those who have helped in anyway.
