MOST buses were halted in Huddersfield mid morning after snow and ice caused chaos on the roads.

Even town centre roads were badly iced up as people struggled to get into work.

And by 10.30am this morning all First Buses were suspended after it was deemed the conditions were too treacherous to continue until gritters could get more salt down.

Halifax Road from Ainley Top into Huddersfield town centre was the worst hit after a lorry got stuck at the top of Fitzwilliam Street. Traffic inched forward and it was far quicker to walk into work.

Other roads were covered in snow and ice as gritters struggled to grapple with the huge problems.

Highways spokesman Mark Dobson said: "The sheer weight of snow caused us problems along with abandoned cars, but by the end of today we should have all our primary routes back in action. We have struggled with the snow since Sunday."
