The Met Office has issued the warning for icy conditions on Thursday (7 January) from 5pm to 11pm.

They believe icy stretches are likely to form in places leading to slippery conditions and potential for disruption to travel.

Residents are being warned of injuries from slips and falls on the ice and of ice patches that may appear on roads and untreated paths.
