Kent County Council's deputy director for public health, Allison Duggal, said:"It is vital that during this prolonged period of severe weather, people act to keep themselves and their home warm - even if this is just by heating the bedroom and living room."It comes afterin two-metre snow drifts in northern Scotland on Friday, and amber warnings remain in place there until midday on Saturday.
