Gritting teams and diggers have cleared ice and snow from all of Medway's roads.

There are now no reports of any roads shut due to the adverse weather after teams spent last night and today clearing the Towns.

Teams had to use a specially hired JCB digger to cut ice from badly affected roads, especially in High Halstow, Cooling and the A228.

Following the clearing a gritter with a snow plough was used.

The JCB was also used to clear the coach park at Gas House Lane in Rochester in preparation for the arrival of visitors to this weekend's Dickensian Christmas Festival.

Car parks at Blue Boar Lane and Corporation Street in Rochester are being trated and ploughed this afternoon.

Waste and recycling collections are still suspended and Medway’s waste recycling centres are currently closed.
