💭 As part of #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek, we want to remind our #steelfamily that everyone has mental health - it's not just about a diagnosis or an absence of one, it's about our wellbeing and experiencing positive emotions. It's about us, our lives, work, relationships...(1/2)

There are delays of at least 60 minutes above usual journey times on the approach to this #M56 incident. The queue of congestion spans over 5 miles back to J11. More information available here - (LINK)
And all lanes stopped on the M56 eastbound due to an RTC between J10 A49 Tarporley Road (Stretton) to J9 M6 J20 (Lymm Interchange). “Traffic has been held since 16:40. This is unrelated to the accident which closed the M6 southbound after the junction.”
Elin Jones returned as Presiding Officer / Llywydd - a role she has held previously.

Traffic officers on scene.
If you're travelling in the area, take care when passing🚗
Looks like the strong winds have forced the closure of Flintshire Bridge this morning, traffic sensors show no traffic going across it currently - the knock-on effect is that traffic is very heavy through CQ and Shotton ...
Poor weather on the network this morning🌧️
When it's raining, standing water can build quickly and cause a serious hazard.
-Adjust your speed when conditions worsen to avoid aquaplaning.
-Allow more space from the car in front to stop in an emergency.
