Road surface temperatures across the county are set to fall below freezing point tonight.

Kent County Council have assured residents that gritting will take place all main roads throughout Kent.

The council aim to have these roads gritted by 10pm tonight to prevent formation of as much ice and frost as possible.

A KCC spokesman said: "Motorists are advised to watch out for icy patches, particularly on the untreated roads overnight and into tomorrow morning, and should expect the surface to be slippery.

"They should drive cautiously and be deliberate and slower in actions and not be surprised by sudden traffic light changes or other vehicles braking.

"Harsh braking, harsh steering or harsh acceleration are key precursors to skidding on ice and snow."
