Police have called for motorists to stop driving on closed roads such as the Creg back road.

In a post on the constabulary’s website it is said the Department of Infrastructure ’are working hard to clear the roads with snow ploughs and gritters, but are being held up by cars trying to pass them that shouldn’t be there.’

Police add: ’We’ve have heard all the excuses under the sun and it’s not going to wash.The signs are clear.’
