Roads & Transport Latest

Snow is still hampering road travel in and around Wrexham days after we were hit with a largely unexpected amount of snowfall last Friday.

We have been out and about and the roads in and around the town centre are largely clear and passable. For those working on the industrial estate, the amount of snow lying on the ground is considerably less than some residential areas so roads are far easier to navigate.

Some of our twitter followers have reminded people in the local area to clear the roof of their car prior to travel, as this could cause an accident and may be deemed driving without due care and attention.

The A5 between Llangollen and Corwen is and will remain shut for today due to overhanging and fallen trees.

Steve Wynne (@swwynne) has warned against travel on the High Street in Coedpoeth due to abandoned vehicles at the side of the road.

Jimmy Kranke (@JimmyKranke) has lauded Sainsbury’s for a ‘snow free’ car park!

Here’s the latest updates on public transport:-
