Caution should be taken when traveling and the Road Safety Authority has advised:
“Watch out for black ice. Black ice is difficult to see. It is nearly transparent ice that often looks like a harmless puddle or is overlooked entirely”
“ It can occur especially in sheltered or shaded areas on roads, under trees and adjacent to high walls.
Please remember to stay communication with your elderly neighbours through this cold period.
