👀 Two more roads have re-opened - the A6024 Holme Moss, and the A57 Snake Pass, which towards the top is passable with care.

Just awaiting feedback from the team on the situation at Winnatts Pass.

[Derbyshire CC @Derbyshirecc]

👷‍♀️ Our gritting teams worked through the night keeping the main roads open, and this morning have been concentrating on the primary routes. From 1pm they will grit the secondary routes, then the primary routes. And then 4am tomorrow morning will do the primary routes again.

[Derbyshire CC @Derbyshirecc]

😺 🎻 Another road reopened - A537 Cat and Fiddle.

[Derbyshire CC @Derbyshirecc]

🚗 A5004 (Long Hill) and A53 (Axe Edge) are now both open.

👷 We are working on the A537 (Cat and Fiddle), A57 (Snake Pass) and A6024 (Holme Moss) and will update you later when we get them open again.

⛔Winnatts Pass is closed due to abandoned vehicles.

❄️ ❄️ Morning Derbyshire, there will be difficult driving conditions on many roads this morning. Our fleet of gritters, fitted with snowploughs, have been out on the main roads all through the night, which will continue today. Latest update - https://t.co/fg7EAto3m5

[National Highways: East Midlands @HighwaysEMIDS]

Freezing temperatures mean ice may be present on roads, even where conditions look clear 🧊

If you must travel, take extra care. Slow down, keep your distance and avoid sudden braking or acceleration.

Road conditions can change quickly in icy weather.

[Derbyshire Fire & Rescue Service @DerbyshireFRS]

❄️ Met Office weather warnings will cover Derbyshire from 5pm today with heavy snow expected due to Storm Goretti.

Please take care if out and about and follow advice to stay safe!

Today I am proud to announce our Road Safety Strategy.

4 people die on our roads every day - that’s unacceptable.

This Government is taking bold action: cracking down on drink & drug driving, mandating advanced safety tech in vehicles, and investing in safer infrastructure.

[Department for Transport @transportgovuk]

We've launched a new Road Safety Strategy, aiming to cut deaths and serious injuries on Britain’s roads by 65% by 2035.

Key points include:
- tougher action on drink driving
- minimum learning periods for learner drivers
- mandatory eye tests for older drivers

We're committed to doing what it takes to save thousands of lives and ease pressure on the NHS.

Our new Road Safety Strategy is a major step towards safer roads and stronger communities.

[Derbyshire CC @Derbyshirecc]

❄️ We're expecting this cold snap to continue this week so our gritting crews are on call 24/7. Road surface temperatures will remain low. Some snow is forecast tomorrow morning which could cause issues for the morning commute.
