IT'S A SNOWY, COLD DAY IN SOLIHULL!

Make sure to be careful when travelling by car or foot to school or work⚠️⚠️

Here are some tips for travelling to school:
- Wear flat, rubber-soled boots with deep treads.
- Use pavements along main roads, as these are more likely to have been gritted.
- Watch for shiny or darkened patches on pavements; these are often invisible ice.
- Take short, careful steps with knees slightly bent to maintain balance over your centre of gravity. (like a penguin🐧)
- NEVER use boiling water to clear footpaths or frozen windscreens.
