Light snowfall has fallen overnight on campus.
There is a minimal amount of lying snow amount on paths and roads, and our Grounds & Gardens have been fully clearing core routes this morning.
If you are coming onto campus today, please take time to check travel information and take extra care to stay safe.
Clearing snow and ice on campus
Gritting and snow clearing services from the University’s Grounds & Gardens team and external contractors are clearing overnight ice and snowfall.
Their focus is on making sure that core access routes are clear, as opposed to individual buildings.
You can report ice and snow that is affecting access routes by emailing our helpdesk.
Travelling to campus
If you work on campus, please make sure you’ve read the University’s procedure for working arrangements during adverse weather.
You can find updates on road disruption via Leeds City Council, on rail via National Rail and on buses in the Leeds area via First Bus.
Disruption updates
This page will be regularly updated in the event of ice and snowfall. We’ll also be providing updates through our Estates team’s X and Instagram pages.
