Snow clearance, Laurel Crescent, Malpas, Newport

There was a snowfall ranging from 4 inches (10cm) at lower levels up to about 6 inches (15cm) at higher elevations in the city overnight January 5th/6th 2010. Main roads were quickly cleared, but side roads remained mostly snow-covered, causing difficulties for drivers in the hillier parts of the city. Laurel Crescent, as a side street, had to wait until Friday January 8th for snow clearance, taking place here at the corner of Rowan Way, which, being on a bus route, was cleared soon after the snowfall.
