The Leader of Oxfordshire County Council is urging everyone to be better prepared for snow.
When heavy snow hit most parts of the county in mid December, it was the minor roads and pavements that caused the biggest problems.
Ian Hudspeth, who is also the local councillor for Woodstock, said communities need to work together to organise snow plans.
"It's relatively easy when the snow first falls and it hasn't actually turned to ice, perhaps if you just clear that section in front of your house, if everybody did that all the pavements would be clear."
Some fish are going to be electrocuted at Blake's Lock in Reading.
But don't worry, they are only being stunned, and it is for their own protection.
The lock is being drained for restoration work, and so to stop our water-dwelling friends from being harmed, engineers at The Environment Agency are using a technique known as 'electro-fishing'.
It uses hand help equipment, they'll put a low voltage charge into the water which will stun the fish so they can net them out of the lock and pop them back in the river, further up or downstream.
The refurbishment of the ‘gateway’ lock between the town’s two main waterways – the River Thames and the Kennet and Avon Canal, will cost £700,000 to complete.
The lock could be closed for up to five months, but it is regarded by the agency as a one in a generation job, or more to the point, a once in a few hundred fish generations.

He cared for all of us and always put people first before himself. We will miss his caring, loving and supportive ways and would like to thank everyone from the emergency services, St Mary’s Hospital and the wonderful people first on the scene who helped him.”

"Windsor and Maidenhead council is just about as conservative as you can get so the chances of the opposition removing Simon Dudley from the top job lie somewhere between remote and zero.

Opposition councillors are calling for the Windsor Council leader to step down following his open letter asking police to remove homeless people from the streets ahead of the royal wedding.

The vessel is upright and under control but she is going to be fully assessed to see if she has suffered any damage and the cargo will need to be restowed"
