Update on weather forecast for Wednesday 23rd January 2013.

The following statement has appeared on the Rhondda-Cynon-Taff County Borough Council website.

Withdrawal of School Transport Services - Wednesday 23rd January 2013
Following conversations with our weather forecasters, please see the following.
For the rest of today, the County Borough will continue to be affected by isolated snowfall though this is expected to ease through the evening and further significant accumulations are not expected. A weather front threatening snow is then forecasted to move into the County Borough from the East after midnight. Accumulations expected between midnight and midday tomorrow are currently forecasted to be 4-6cm on higher ground and 1-3cm at lower elevations though exact accumulations are very difficult to predict and higher totals cannot be ruled out. Further snowfall is then expected through the rest of Wednesday and further accumulations of 3-5cm are possible. Further updates will be issued as the situation evolves.
Due to this forecast of continuing adverse weather conditions, with the risk of more and snow causing further major disruption to the highway network, the Council has decided in the interest of public safety to withdraw all the school transport provision organised by Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council for tomorrow Wednesday 23rd January 2013. Therefore no schools transport will be provided for Rhondda Cynon Taf pupils to schools in the County Borough or to schools in adjacent local authority areas.

As a result I will be assessing local conditions early in the morning and contacting staff and parents by text informing you of any disruption to school. Please make alternative arrangements for childcare. I will post additional details on here as usual.
