Temperatures are set to drop to minus six degrees centigrade in some areas of the county tonight (Tuesday, January 26), and while West Sussex County Council gritters have salted A and B roads, as well as approaches to hospitals, lesser highways will not be treated.

A council spokesman said: "Because the Government's 'salt cell' arrangements are still in force to preserve supplies nationally, fewer roads will be salted than normal, and drivers are again urged to take great care."
