Good morning, it's Suzannah back with you on this rather cold morning. I'm here to try make your morning journey as smooth as possible.

Brought to you by The HACS Group, these blogs will give you updates every 30 minutes on the roads and public transport links.

If you get stuck in traffic or spot something, and it is safe, then give me a call on 01423 276197.

Let's work together to give everyone a good commute this morning.
