Royal Surrey open as usual during the snow

The Royal Surrey is open as usual during the snow.

As the snow continues the Royal Surrey urges people to take care of themselves and remember the needs of friends, relatives and neighbours who may be at risk in the cold weather.

Following a few basic principles can make a big difference to the safety and wellbeing:

• make sure you are warm enough, especially at night
• stock up on food and medicines
• watch your step - falls often result in trips to hospital
• Avoid driving in icy and snowy conditions unless your journey is absolutely necessary. 

If you have to drive it's worth taking a few minutes to make sure that there aren't any problems on your intended route.
