Good morning, I hope you enjoyed your bank holiday weekend. I am back today with the live traffic blog giving you road and rail updates every 15 minutes.

It's Suzannah with you this morning. Please get in touch to let me know what you can see, if it is safe to do so, give me a call on 01423 276197 or get in touch on social media.

These blogs, brought to you by The HACS Group, are keeping you updated as the district's roads get busier.
