As the temperatures are expected to drop below zero tonight, the gritters will hit the roads tonight.

They'll be out in force in Bedford from 7pm and in Central Bedfordshire from 9pm.

In a tweet, Bedford Borough Council said: "A few clouds early tonight, then skies gradually clear leaving a clear cold night. Road surface temperatures are expected to fall away and become below zero for many areas."
