THUNDER and lightning heralded a spectacular prelude to an unpredictable night of snow flurries and gale-force winds across the borough.
Oldham Council’s gritting teams worked continuously on primary routes throughout the night and will keep residents fully informed with updates (www.oldham.gov.uk/winter).
Oldham Council’s First Response service use its Twitter account @oldhamalert to inform followers of school and road closures or incidents.
These will also be retweeted for residents using the council’s account @oldhamcouncil and residents can be part of the conversation at #GritOldham.
