Traffic Bromsgrove

ℹ️ We've now created a WhatsApp Channel to keep you better updated on road closures and incidents in and around Bromsgrove. The benefits of a WhatsApp Channel are that no one, including us, can see your phone number or personal details. It is also a 'one way' communication, whereby only we can send messages out. In addition to this, you'll get important updates straight to your phone which saves you having to scroll through Facebook to find out what's going on. In order to keep notifications to a minimum, it will only be used for 'high impact' events such as emergency road closures, incidents and severe weather which are likely to have a big impact on journeys. You can join our channel by clicking this link - whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va… Alternatively, you can open WhatsApp, tap 'updates' at the bottom of the screen and then searching for 'Traffic Bromsgrove Alerts'. Notifications seem to be off by default, so be sure to enable them to make sure you get important updates straight away. The format of any alerts will be very basic to allow them to be read out on Apple Car Play or Android Auto safely.
