Whilst local media are busy reporting the huge number of school closures the
County Council website was maintaining at 8 am this morning that the snow
showers are light and schools will be open.

Liberal Democrat Councillor Chris White said: ‘The county website is really
worse than useless. Parents are being told that schools are open while
national and local news outlets are telling people to stay at home and not
to travel. It is also almost impossible to navigate.

‘Our advice is to check your child’s school website, many of which have been
updated, and to listen to local radio.

‘We will yet again be raising with the county council the lamentable state
of its website.’
