A DCC spokesperson said: “Some roads closed due to flooding have now reopened, the routes below are still closed:

“Snow overnight is affecting many roads in the Peak District, particularly in the Chapel area. Ice is also an issue on higher ground.

“We have had crews out overnight ploughing and gritting and doing all we can to keep roads open.

“The A515 between Parsley Hay and Pomeroy is down to one lane, with poor visibility and stuck vehicles, so please avoid the area. Long Lane at Youlgrave is also an issue with abandoned vehicles.

“As well as the roads below, which remain closed, there are issues with snow on the A515 between Newhaven and Fenny Bentley – and on the A612 Clodall Lane at Owler Bar:

A DCC spokesperson added: “Our crews will remain out this morning and will concentrate on the main roads. We will endeavour to then look at the roads above that are closed to see if we can get them open later today.

“Take care if you are travelling on the roads and remember never to drive into flood water or through road closure signs which are there for your safety.
