With the temperatures dropping, BCP Council is geared up to keep residents and visitors safe and moving this winter and is encouraging residents to plan ahead and prepare for the cold season.

St Mungo’s, in partnership with BCP Council, has activated the area’s severe weather response on Wednesday 7 December in response to the Met Office predicting temperatures of 0 degrees or below for at least three consecutive nights.

BCP Council is ‘leading the way’ in its approach to the Government’s Levelling Up agenda, according to a report to be considered at the next meeting of BCP Council’s Cabinet (14 December 2022).
