Partygoers urged to plan ahead

Be sure to know your way tonight

Tonight's weather has brought with it a warning to those braving an office Christmas outing tonight.

The second weekend of December is a popular one for seasonal gatherings, but a flurry of ice and snow means a number will be postponed.

With bus services reduced and taxi operators likely to be under pressure, police say the 'golden rule' is to ensure you have a definite way home if you venture out.

For those 'desperate' to get out for a drink, the advice is to plan your own transport home or a place to stay overnight nearby.
