Dudley Council works hard to ensure its services continue to run during the winter period. However, some services will be affected by the severe weather.
At this time of year we are constantly monitoring the weather and our staff have vast experience in dealing with all types of winter conditions. We have 3,500 tonnes of grit and a fleet of eight gritters, to bolster a network of hundreds of grit bins across the borough if the weather takes a turn for the worst.
With cold weather continuing if you're concerned about someone sleeping rough contact Dudley Council Plus on 0300 555 2345 or dudleycouncilplus@dudley.gov.uk and we’ll help.
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 e-bulletins for monthly information on the council's news, service, events and other information.
Or download the free Dudley Council app to report issues directly to us from your phone
A 65-strong team based at the council’s Lister Road depot keep more than 480 kilometres of road clear during severe weather.
Most schools contact parents directly if there are any closures. Any confirmed closures will appear here, but you are advised to check with your school.
People are also advised to listen to local radio stations for up to the minute information and we have provided a selection of radio websites here which may offer additional information.
