DRIVERS in Bradford have been told to take care as the Council will be gritting key routes across the district this evening.

With road surface temperatures forecast to fall below zero tonight, crews will be out covering all "Priority One" gritting routes across the Bradford district from 4pm. 

A patrol will then be out from 10pm monitoring conditions and gritting when and where needed overnight.

"Please take care if you are out and about on the roads," a Bradford Council spokesperson said.

Gritting is the spreading of rock salt on the highway to prevent it from freezing in cold weather.

The gritters were last out on Tuesday, November 22.
