Snow causes traffic chaos

SNOW hit Leighton, Dunstable and Luton on Saturday evening bringing chaos to roads and public transport.

Falling at the weekend though did bring a bit of family fun to the equation as many took the opportunity for a bit of sledging in the county’s parks.

Parsons Close Rec in Leighton was a hot spot as the gentle slope provided a great spot for littlies to play.
