Weather Watch

Dudley Council works hard to ensure its services continue to run during the autumn and winter period. However, some services will be affected by the severe weather. Weather warnings are currently in place for flooding in parts of the borough and residents are advised to be on alert in the affected areas.

We have 6,000 tonnes of grit and a fleet of eight gritters, to bolster a network of more than one thousand grit bins across the borough if the weather takes a turn for the worst.

Below is a complete picture of how council services will be affected during the snow and ice. Remember, you can also keep up to date via our @dudleymbc twitter feed and 'dudley borough' facebook page.

You can also sign up to regular bulletins for information on the council's news, service, events and other information

Flood warnings are in place for parts of the borough.

Travel disruption is likely, teams are out working to clear flooding on the highway wherever possible.

Residents are advised to take action to protect themselves and property, monitor local weather and river conditions in the following locations:

Illey Brook, Halesown from Manor Way to Shenstone Trading Estate
Lutley Gutter, Halesowen, including Harden Vale, Belle Vue, Shelton Way, Hillview Close, Clancey Way & Corngreaves Road area
River Stour, Halesowen, from Dogkennel Lane to Hayseech Road
River Stour, Stourbrigde Town Centre, Amblecote and Prestwood
