Police Scotland offer weather update

Police Scotland are urging people to continue to monitor the forecast and stick to the advice given by the authorities.

Amber and yellow weather warnings remain in place for much of the country.

With conditions still challenging, people have been told not to travel in the affected areas.

Superintendent Helen Harrison who is coordinating the multi-agency response said: “We continue to deal with a number of challenging incidents right across the country and the response from our officers, staff and those of our partner agencies has been outstanding.

“We are not complacent though and we will continue to monitor the situation closely in order to keep people as safe as possible. Our advice has not changed – avoid travel in the affected areas and keep a close eye on the Met Office updates and from the authorities across Scotland.

“We are continuing to run a multi-agency command centre at Bilston to coordinate the emergency response with our partners and to keep Scotland moving as best we can.

“The advice remains the same – if you can postpone your journey in affected areas until after the amber warning ceases I would urge you to do so. We’d ask employers to continue to allow staff to work flexibly.”

Between 8am yesterday morning and this morning, Police Scotland control room staff had answered 8272 calls in total.
