Severe Weather in Greenwich

The great thing about this snow is that it makes for some lovely pictures. The flip side of this though is that it affects people’s ability to get around safely, get to work or to the shops, or to access important services.

Greenwich Council has implemented its pre-organised “Snow Plans”, which means some council run services such as rubbish collection and general passenger services have been suspended. Meals on wheels deliveries will be made as normal.

Most schools are closed, and listen to local radio to find out if they will be open tomorrow. More heavy snow is predicted so the advice is not to travel unless you really have to. South Eastern has suspended services in and out of London.

Councillor Chris Roberts, Leader of Greenwich Council, said: “Greenwich Council is making every effort to keep vital services running and I am very pleased we are able to say we have got staff out and about to ensure the elderly and vulnerable are being looked after as normal. We urge people to stay indoors and keep listening to local news reports for the latest advice. We will be issuing updates as and when we have them”.
