Introduction

Winter Service is the salting and gritting service we provide from October through to April (longer if forecasts indicate that cold weather will continue).

This service operates on a standby basis, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and includes:

• Salting roads
• Snow ploughing
• Grit bins at priority locations

When roads are assessed to require salting due to low temperatures, icy conditions and/or snow, our gritters are sent out to salt roads on the network.
