Winter maintenance and gritting
We are responsible for the maintenance of public
highways in the area which includes a winter maintenance
service.
The weather is checked every day to determine whether
gritting is required between 1st October and April
30th.
You can keep up to date with the latest gritting
information by following us on twitter.
A specialist winter weather forecast service is provided by
Meteogroup Ltd which advises of the possibility of freezing
road surface temperatures or snow and gives an approximate time
when these conditions may arise. This information enables the
highways maintenance team to decide whether gritting is
necessary.
Which roads are gritted?
You can view
gritting routes on our Hawkeye mapping system. Gritted
routes are shown in blue and red.
