This has caused traffic backing up in Broadfield from Tolllgate Hill down to Creaseys Drive and Woodmans Hill.

And it has also affected GP services. Coachmans Medical Centre in Broadfield sent a text to all patients this morning saying: “Due to travel disruptions because of the weather we are only able to offer urgent GP appointments today, if your call is not urgent please call tomorrow or you could access the LIVI app for GP appointments.

“We apologise for any inconvenience.”
