Police advise caution after lorries become stuck

The road past Highland Park, Kirkwall, and out towards Holm is “passable with care”, police have advised, this morning, after heavy snow fall led to two lorries becoming stuck there.

According to officers in Kirkwall, gritters have been out and it has been assessed that the road is passable, but drivers are asked to take extra care.

This message of caution also goes more generally for roads across Orkney, with much of the county having experienced a significant amount of wintry weather in the past 24 hours.
