Flintshire Council has issued updates regarding disruptions to waste and recycling collections, road closures, and other local services following wintry weather affecting the county.

Waste and recycling crews are operating but face disruptions due to adverse conditions.

Flint and Bagillt, along with surrounding coastal areas, are expected to see collections proceed where safely possible.

However, services in Mold, Buckley, Mynydd Isa, and nearby areas are restricted.
