High winds and snow close Felixstowe container port

THE Hutchison container port of Felixstowe has been shut down because of high winds and snow with trucks parked along A14 highway approaches to the harbour, reports BBC News.

Suffolk County Council is rationing road grit to priority routes, A and B roads only and is conserving road salt. Rail services were running in the county, but 30 schools have been closed, mostly in the Felixstowe area.
