I've just taken my daughter to work at the Ship in Middlestone.( then brought her straight back as her shift has been cancelled)
There are a couple of cars having difficulty going up the bank from Chilton to Merrington - at present one was stopped and another was being pushed. All the rest of the cars were joining the queue
The snow is already starting to drift over the top of the hedges, then dropping onto the road making the travel even more difficult and unless they get the cars moving the plough won't get up the road to help!
The plough went along the North of Chilton then turned around at the Trading estate roundabout at the north side of Chilton heading back towards Ferryhill Station, so if you're heading out this evening IMHO the road will close shortly between Chilton and Merrington unless they start to plough it or salt it soon.
