Many schools close because the teachers don't live on the doorstep.While it may have seemed not too bad down in the town centre, further out and higher up it has been quite bad to drive. I didn't risk taking my car off the street because there's a downhill bit that I didn't fancy trying to stop on if I had to, and end up going straight out in to Willows Lane in front of somebody else.
The problem is a lot of people have to try and get around at the same time and a couple of bumps create havoc. I know somebody on the X43 bus this morning took 2.5 hours to get to Manchester.
If you don't need to go out there's no point doing so, makes it easier for those who have to
