Wintry conditions are set to continue for the next week across Cambridgeshire.
Road safety officers are urging drivers to take care. Many roads can look safe but may be icy. The key advice is to drive slowly and carefully with no sudden movements. Cambridge County Council road safety publicity officer Phil Rennie talked to Star Radio's Amy Bidwell about the best way to stay safe during the cold weather. Click here to listen to the interview.
