MORE schools will close this afternoon as heavy snowfall continues to cause widespread disruption to parents and pupils.

Thousands of school children will enjoy a shorter day, in addition to those at schools which were unable to open this morning.

Several inches of snow fell over night and there has so far been no let up in the winter weather conditions, which have caused disruption to public transport links and roads across the borough.

Some schools will stay closed tomorrow, while others will decide first thing in the morning whether to open. Parents should check the news from each individual school.
