Good morning it's Suzannah with you this week. I'm here to give you all the necessary traffic updates to keep your morning journey smooth.

It's very cold out there this morning so take care on the roads.

Our live traffic blogs include any roadworks, traffic hotspots and any delays or cancelations to public transport.

If you spot anything, and it is safe to do so, give me a call on 01423 276197 and we can help other commuters too.

These blogs are brought to you by The HACS Group.
