Snow Update Issued by Rochdale Council
Rochdale council have issued the following statement about snowfall in the borough
We have carried out a pre-treatment for snow this morning and are currently ploughing the main road network to clear any accumulations of snow. Once ploughed, roads will be retreated with salt to prevent snow from bonding with the carriageway and ploughing will then recommence. As the weather system develops we will be carrying out further treatments to clear the network.
