HEAVY snowfall has hit the region – with a number of schools county-wide already announcing they will remain shut this morning (Friday).
In Times Territory, Monk’s Walk School in Knightsfield, WGC, and Pope Paul Primary School in Baker Street, Potters Bar, have already confirmed they will not be open.
Many more are expected to follow, although a county council spokeswoman said: “Schools will try to stay open wherever possible.”
