Storm Barra is working its way across the country, with some heavy rain, sleet and icy conditions in the forecast for Sheffield. Be prepared for wintry weather by locating your nearest grit bin, checking out our priority gritting routes and checking the latest forecast before you travel. When adverse weather strikes remember to only make essential journeys and drive according to the conditions. We cannot guarantee that treated roads will be free of ice.

Sheffield City Council is working with E.ON to make more homes across the city warmer and energy efficient.
The Green Homes Grant scheme will help households reduce their heating costs through FREE improvements like external wall, cavity wall and loft insulation, double glazing and smart heating controls.
If you get a letter through your door to say you may be eligible, please contact E.ON to find out more. This is a genuine opportunity to make energy saving improvements to your home.
During times of extremely cold weather we activate 'Weather Watch' - our severe weather emergency protocol. Overnight accommodation is offered to anyone, including those with no recourse to public funds or no local connection, who would be sleeping rough during times of extremely cold weather.
If you need to contact us about Weather Watch, phone Housing Solutions on 0114 2736306 on weekdays, or 0800 7311 689 during evenings and weekends, or phone Sheffield’s Street Outreach Team on 0800 066 5358.
In bad weather it's likely we can only get to emergency or urgent repairs. Please bear with us when this happens - we have to prioritise jobs and reschedule those we can't make.
