Coleg Cambria closes all sites on Monday due to snow and ice
Coleg Cambria has confirmed that all of its sites will be closed on Monday 5 January due to bad weather, with lessons moving online.
The college said the decision was taken because of snow and ice warnings in place, which cover Flintshire and Wrexham.
In a message issued to students and staff, Coleg Cambria said:
“College Site Closures Due to Bad Weather Tomorrow (05.01.26). Important: Lessons and staff working will move online. Sites affected: All sites.”
The closure comes as a yellow warning for snow and ice has been issued, covering large parts of Wales including Flintshire.
The warning states that snow and ice have the potential to cause disruption to travel from Sunday afternoon through to Monday morning.
According to the warning, some roads and railways are likely to be affected, with longer journey times by road, bus and train services.
Icy patches are expected on untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths, with a risk of slips and falls.
The Met Office said snow showers are expected to move further inland across Wales, with 1 to 3 centimetres possible in many areas by Monday morning, and up to 5 to 8 centimetres in a few inland and higher locations. Icy conditions are expected to form widely.
A second yellow warning is also in place into Tuesday morning, with scattered sleet and snow showers and a continued risk of ice overnight.
Met Office Chief Meteorologist Matthew Lehnert said: “As we begin the first full working week of the year, we face a range of winter weather hazards with snow showers and ice.
“Elsewhere in the UK, snow showers, ice and frost are expected at times but milder air will make attempts to spread eastward from Tuesday.”
Students and staff have been advised to stay up to date with weather forecasts and travel conditions, and to take extra care if journeys are necessary.
