The Met Office has issued a yellow warning for ice across Haverhill, Suffolk, which remains in effect until 10am on Saturday, February 14, 2026. The alert, which began at 5pm on Friday, February 13, warns of slippery surfaces on roads and pavements that could lead to travel delays or injury from slips and falls during the cold weather.
According to Suffolk County Council, residents are encouraged to avoid non-essential journeys and allow more time for any necessary travel. The council has provided an emergency telephone number, 0345 606 6171, for members of the public to report dangerous road conditions to their highways department while the warning is active.
Travel in the area was further impacted by strike action from Stagecoach East bus drivers on Friday, February 13, which caused major disruption to the 13, 13A, and X13 routes. Drivers should also plan for ongoing roadworks, including a Cadent gas project on Wratting Road scheduled to continue until March 20. Recent improvement schemes on Greenfields Way, which were scheduled to finish on February 13, may also still affect local traffic flow.
To help navigate these disruptions, residents can view real-time updates on road closures and traffic restrictions through the one.network platform. Officials suggest checking these live feeds before leaving home to ensure that chosen routes are clear and safe for travel throughout the weekend.
