Several schools in Lancashire have been forced to close this week due to persistent snow and icy conditions. Schools have the autonomy to decide on closures based on weather conditions and safety concerns.
After a weekend of snow and adverse weather conditions, some schools in Lancashire have been forced to close this week. On their first week back after Christmas, some areas are still feeling the brunt of the poor weather. It is up to schools whether they open or close during bad conditions, with many depending on their location and safety considerations. Today, there is a yellow weather warning issued by the Met Office for snow and ice across much of Lancashire.
This means the weather today is likely to cause some disruption, with icy stretches and snow showers from last night into this morning.
