Welcome to your Lancashire

We're preparing for winter... are you?

Are you prepared for Winter?

With winter here we are busy preparing keeping the county's roads as clear and safe as possible, and minimising delays and accidents caused by bad weather conditions.

Salt stocks are built up at 15 locations across the county and our fleet of gritters and snow ploughs is ready to start work as soon as ice and snow is forecast.

With our plans well underway we are asking residents to get ready for the challenges that severe weather conditions can bring.
