Gritting Routes

When do we salt the roads?
When the formation of ice is predicted, it is the County Council Policy to pre-grit:
All main traffic routes, A roads, most B roads and one or other two other strategic routes.
In urban areas the accesses to hospitals and main industrial estates.
A single route into all villages.
Salt Bins
Salt Bins in rural areas provided by Parish Councils will be replenished with salt.
What do we do when it snows?
In the event of snowfall, the roads receiving gritting will be cleared as soon as resources allow.
When snow falls are heavy at least one route into villages will be cleared.
Footways will also be cleared where there is a considerable pedestrian usage.
Resources will be targeted where snowfall is heaviest. |  |
