Council contractors have cleared Dyers Pass and Hackthorne roads and these have been reopened.

Summit Road remains closed.

Redbus services have returned to normal but the company warns passengers that if there are hard frosts or more snow overnight, some services may not be operating tomorrow morning. This is especially true of its hill runs.

Many other streets along the hills remain slippery and dangerous and the Council cautions drivers to take care.

Refuse collection: People whose streets were on today's collection runs are asked to take their bags and recyclables bins off the kerbside.

Police: The Christchurch police are asking all drivers to take care, to increase their following distances and reduce their speed.
