Since Christmas Eve gritters from Surrey County Council have treated over 6000 miles of road – the equivalent distance of London to Tokyo.

39 gritting lorries used some of the 16,000 tonnes of salt the County Council had stockpiled ahead of the icy conditions.

Almost 1800 grit bins were filled in the run up to Christmas and several farmers also signed up to assist with spreaders and ploughs.

Fire broke out in Broadfield yesterday.

West Sussex Fire & Rescue Service were called to a block of four attached houses in Chevening Close just before half-past three in the morning.

It is believed the fire started in the first floor and roof of one property, spreading to the adjacent property.

The other two properties attached were undamaged.

The Pegasus card aims to make emergency calls easier and quicker.

When users register for the card they provide their contact details and other information about their situation.  Call handlers can then access this data in an emergency – the cardholder only needing to give their Pegasus PIN code.

The scheme is already running with Surrey Police and is being supported by South East Coast Ambulance Service as well as West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service.

Users can also show their card to staff from these organisations face-to-face to get the help and support they need more quickly.
