Cheadle Weather Plummets to -5C, residents urged to stay safe.

Staffordshire Police are urging people to stay safe as weather warnings for snow and ice are set to remain in place over the weekend. An amber cold health alert has been issued for Stoke-on-Trent and Staffordshire, with temperatures set to fall to as low as -5C in the Moorlands.


“Avoid driving if weather conditions are extreme, but if you must drive, plan regular breaks and take an emergency snow kit with you. see COGNEWS post: Essential Winter Driving Tips: How to Stay Safe and Smart on the Road For more advice on driving in winter, visit: https://www.staffordshirefire.gov.uk/your-safety/safety-outside/driving-safely-in-the-winter/


Cold snaps can often lead to frozen ponds and waterways, including canals, rivers, and lakes, whilst ice and snow make driving hazardous. Ian Read, head of prevent, protect and partnerships, said: “We are urging people not to put their lives at risk, and the lives of others at risk, by venturing onto frozen water.

“Although it may look like it is safe to walk on, it is not. It is very dangerous and can have fatal consequences.


It’s also important to heat your homes safely during the cold weather. Guidance on how to do so can be found here: https://www.staffordshirefire.gov.uk/news/posts/be-warm-be-safe-this-winter/
