Buses: Routes 93, 413 and 80 are operating normally through Stonecot Hill.

Roads: The surface on the main A24 Stonecot Hill road is clear and lighty traffic is moving freely. Many side roads have still not been gritted and are very icy, so drive with extreme care.

Pavements: Despite some gritting yesterday, most of the pavements on Stonecot Hill are extremely icy so walk with caution and expect your journey to take longer than usual. Side roads are also very icy.

Minicabs: Sky Cars on Stonecot Hill are open and have cars available for those that don’t have their own transport (or don’t want to use it!)

Sutton Schools: Most schools in Sutton are open today. Please check this list or your school’s website for details.

Merton Schools: Most Merton schools will be open today. Please check this list or your school’s website for details.

Waste collection: Today is the normal waste collection on Stonecot Hill for residents in the Sutton Council area. Sutton Council will resume waste collections today having suspended them since Monday to transfer staff to gritting and other snow-related duties, but will start with Monday’s collection rounds and catch up during the week to Saturday. So, you can put your bins out today but don’t expect them to be emptied necessarily. The council have asked residents to dig out their bins as those that are snowed in and cannot be moved will not be emptied. More details on Sutton Council’s homepage.

Merton Council collected waste on their side of Stonecot Hill yesterday.

The Emmanuel Parent and Toddler Club will be closed today but hopes to be back next week.

Check this page for updates throughout the day. I’ll update the time in the page title when there’s new information.

Updated 1330: Buses 93 and 413 are now running normally from North Cheam through Stonecot Hill.

Due to a lack of gritting at Priory Road, Churchill Road and at the Queen Vic in North Cheam, the 93 bus route is currently terminating at The Woodstock junction (the crossroads with Stonecot Hill, Tudor Drive and Sutton Common Road). (See this map.)

This morning’s rush hour has seen passengers walking along Stonecot Hill to the bus stops on the north side of the Woodstock junction, outside Ninety2Dental (northbound) and St Peter News (southbound) on Epsom Road.

Currently this information is not available on the TfL website or through TfL’s telephone services but has been confirmed with Sutton bus garage.

Check this website or my Twitter feed for more updates.

Normal service will resume once North Cheam has been adequately gritted.

Bus 413 is running on its normal route through Stonecot Hill.
