It may feel warmer outside today, but this could make the ice on our roads and bodies of water more unpredictable, with uneven melting creating hidden dangers. Here’s how to stay safe: On Foot: As temperatures rise, icy patches may turn to slush or hidden puddles. Stay cautious, especially near water, and avoid frozen lakes, ponds, and canals, as melting ice can be unstable. On the Road: As ice thaws, roads may become slippery and hazardous. Reduce speed, increase stopping distance, and watch for standing water that could refreeze overnight. For Pets: As ice melts, areas near water can be dangerous. Keep dogs on leads and avoid walking near breaking ice. In an Emergency: If someone falls into cold water, Don't attempt a rescue yourself and call 999 immediately.

In North Shields this week we have started ground investigation works after a report of possible mining related damage to two homes. Due to access issues it was necessary to use a crane to deliver a drilling rig to the back garden of one of the properties so that ground samples can be taken and examined to see if the cause of the damage is due to historical mining in the area. We have also installed monitoring equipment at the properties to provide reassurance to the residents. We would like to thank local residents for their patience and understanding whilst the drilling rig was being delivered. Our Public Safety and Subsidence Team respond to hundreds of similar incidents every year. If you suspect a mining hazard, please contact our 24/7/365 Hazard Line on 0800 288 4242.

Keeping warm in cold weather can help to prevent more serious health problems. To stay warm during the colder months,... 🔥 try heating rooms where you spend a lot of time, like the living room or bedroom, to at least 18°C if you can. 💨 Reduce draughts by using affordable draught excluders around doors, 🪟 keep bedroom windows closed at night, 👕 layer thinner clothing for better insulation, which can often be more effective than a single thick layer. If you are out and about and it is icy please take care to avoid any slips. Feeling unwell?

Due to the current icy weather conditions, our crews have been unable to access a number of rural and residential areas this week to collect household waste and recycling safely. Whilst it is difficult to predict if conditions will improve over the next few days, once it is safe to do so, they'll endeavour to return to those properties affected. We apologise for any inconvenience caused but it's important we keep our crews and communities safe.
