With snow still on the ground in Milton Keynes, MKFM has the latest live updates from the roads, buses, trains, hospital and more from across Milton Keynes.
This page will be updated throughout the day as new information becomes available. Got an update for us? Email news@mkfm.com.
Roads
Ringway MK are reporting that grid roads across Milton Keynes are now 'clear and moving well'. Gritting crews have been working through the night and are now finishing off other key areas including city retail parks.
Devil's Dip in Hanslope was blocked by a snow drift over five feet high but this is now being cleared.
Drivers are being asked to avoid Cranfield Road as this is currently impassable due to large snow drifts.
Estate roads across Milton Keynes are not cleared and drivers are being asked to take extra care and only travel when essential.
Our team continues to #grit and #plough minor estate roads. This evening sees a risk of freezing rain and potential black #ice so our #grittting teams continue and we will have new shifts in later today. @mkcouncil @mkfm @Bucksfire @tvp_mk We really do have a #greatteam #lovemk

Trains
There are still delays and cancellations to Virgin Trains and London Northwestern Railway services to/from Milton Keynes Central.
Passengers heading further North are also being advised to check for their particular area as some areas are still very heavily hit including Birmingham and the West Midlands.

If you are affected, just arrive as normal and a steward will relocate you to a seat higher up in the stand. #MKDvBRR
