More roads closed by council amid freezing conditions across Derbyshire – as work continues to reopen routes hit by snow, ice and flooding

Derbyshire County Council (DCC) has issued an update on the county’s roads this morning – with more routes being added to their list of closures amid the continued spell of inclement weather.

A DCC spokesperson said: “We had very low road surface temperatures overnight, so road conditions are difficult – despite our gritting actions.

“Our gritting crews treated all primary and secondary routes yesterday afternoon and evening, and did them all again from 2.00am this morning.

“We are putting down more grit as the temperatures are forecast to be very low. This means that we can't do a whole route on one lorry full of grit, with the crews having to return to their depots to refill. Gritting rounds will therefore take longer to complete.”

The following roads remain closed due to snow, all of which are all being assessed today:

Mam Nick, Edale to Rushup Edge

Cat and Fiddle, A537 – DCC have a digger and gritter working along the route this morning trying to get it open.

A6024 Holme Moss

Goyts Lane, off A5004 near Buxton

Rylah Hill, Palterton – closed due to ice

Back Lane, Youlgrave – shut from junction with Moor Lane to junction with Conksbury Lane due to snow/ice (closed overnight)

Curbar Lane – closed from its junction with Dukes Drive, The Hillock, Bar Road and Clodhall Lane to its junction with the A621/Sheffield Road (closed overnight).
