The recent plunging temperatures have given photographers the chance to get out and about to capture the winter wonderland scenes across the Bradford district.

However, slippery surfaces have also created tricky driving conditions, especially on side roads and lesser routes.

Bradford Council says it has a priority network that it  monitors and grits. This includes bus routes, roads that carry the highest amount of traffic and includes access to hospitals and schools.

More information regarding gritting routes can be found on the council website.
