Beware - sheet ice Avondale Rise .

[ctovey]

Please be aware that there is a huge sheet of ice approx 12ft x 6ft on the road at the top end of Avondale Rise on the left hand side approaching Ivanhoe Road.  The council was told earlier this morning, but advised that, due to a reduced service, it is unlikely that grit /salt will be spread before Monday!  Several (thankfully minor) accidents have happened since this morning.  A resident has thoughtfully erected a temporary sign to advise traffic of the hazard, but bearing in mind that temperatures are due to fall to -4 over the weekend and this is on a bus route, please be very careful if driving on this road.

The Chadwick Road railway bridge is also sheet ice. Watched 3 hire bike's lose it and come off and one car which ended up on the pavement.

The bikes seemed very surprised when it happened although you could see the ice.

Black ice isn't always that obvious.  I hope you checked that the riders were OK.
