Sheppey doesn't see much snow, but when it comes, or when the roads ice over, journeys can take a lot longer. Here's how to plan.
What bad weather affects
- Back roads in Eastchurch, Warden and Leysdown, which are often the last to be gritted
- The Sheppey Crossing in strong winds
- Hills and estate roads in Minster
- Trains on the Sheerness line, when the network is disrupted
Plan ahead
- Book early: demand jumps when people leave their cars at home
- Allow extra time for flights, trains and appointments
- Clear a path to your door if you can, and wait inside until the car arrives
- Tell us about steep or icy driveways when you book
