We are aware of the issues affecting the Three mobile network, with some customers reporting that they can’t make 999 calls. If you have problems reaching 999, please try to use a landline or another mobile with a different service provider.

At -3 this morning, it’s imperative you leave more time to clear ALL lights & windows fully before setting off.
By not clearing windows, you risk lives.
Don’t leave your vehicle running unattended - it only takes a second for a thief to jump in.
