DORSET residents are urged to take care on local roads amid weather warnings for ice.

The yellow warning - meaning 'be prepared' - was issued by the Met Office yesterday (Wednesday) at 6pm and remains in place this morning until 11am.

Icy stretches are likely to form - particularly on untreated roads, roads, pavements and cycle paths - and residents are urged to take extra care to prevent injuries from falls.

There is still possibility of 'a little snow,' the Met Office said.
