Well ... It is definitely a day for sledging and snowman building in the Royal Burgh! Cllr McClymont has kindly provided an update on road gritting and clearing for today in the area ... Some fairly heavy bursts of snow experienced overnight. Worst affected areas were Lesmahagow and Carnwath with up to 6 inches of snow reported. The precautionary gritting routes across the whole of the Council area have needed continuous treatment and this will continue until at least 11am this morning. Assistance has also been provided by farmer tractors and colleagues in Community. Planned action for Saturday Treatment of precautionary routes will continue until at least 11am this morning and if conditions allow we will revert to patrolling the precautionary routes thereafter and treat secondary carriageway routes where possible. Precautionary footways routes are ongoing at present and will be complete later this morning. Further weather forecasts will be received this afternoon and this evening and this will also determine the timing and exact course of action over the coming period. Enjoy the snow day!
