Aberdeen City Council has been working round the clock to make the roads accessible to pedestrians and drivers.

Roads services staff are working around the city in road and pavement gritters, and on foot to spread salt on roads and pavements

On Friday 17 road gritters, 15 pavement gritters, 9 pick-ups battled the weather, with 100 staff working in sheltered housing areas and cemeteries and on pavements.

The amber weather warning was in place across the city until 10am and there is still be a yellow weather warning in place over the weekend.

Councillor Ross Grant said: "We will continue our round-the-clock gritting operations with two of our major priorities being to keep the main roads and main pavements clear.

"Our staff will continue to review the forecast during the day and focus efforts in areas where there is most need, such as today when gritters were sent to areas of the city with steep hills and higher ground where they were getting heavy and persistent snow showers.

"The yellow weather warning is looking likely to be in place for the weekend and we've already arranged for increased numbers of gritting staff then so they are at the same levels as during the week.

"Lastly, we'd ask people to plan any journey they're undertaking and follow local police advice on Twitter and Facebook for road safety updates."
