IT IS largely expected to be business as usual in Lewisham tomorrow with schools expected to open.

Lewisham Council says no school will close any classes unless weather conditions are extreme, surface conditions make the site unsafe, or severe transport disruption prevents sufficient numbers of staff getting to school.

School websites will carry information of any changes.

Libraries and leisure centres are also expected to be open as usual.

But the pools at Downham Health and Leisure Centre are closed.

All football pitches are closed and the track at Ladywell Arena is closed.

Compacted snow and icy conditions mean the re-use and recycling facility in New Cross is closed until further notice.

Lewisham Council workers are continually re-gritting all main roads and bus routes and are working to ensure clear and safe access to hospital and medical services, transport hubs and schools.
