Several of the Cemeteries including the City Cemetery, Strabane, Ballyoan and Altnagelvin will be closed for a period in the morning to allow salting of the roads and pathways around these areas.
Recycling Centres, Council parks, greenways and play parks will remain open. However, such facilities especially in rural areas may experience some delays in opening when weather conditions are poor.
Leisure facilities and community centres will be open and operating as normal. Outdoor pitches will be inspected to see if they are suitable to open and users will be notified.
The public are asked to be patient and to co-operate fully with staff. Likewise, to exercise extreme caution when using any of the services and facilities during these weather conditions.
