Road gritting

When ice or snow is forecast, we pre-salt our main roads (bus routes and roads outside hospitals) to help keep them safe before the onset of snow or ice.

Map of priority 1 gritting routes

If severe ice is expected, or snow has fallen, other roads will be treated after successful treatment of the Primary Routes.

Gritting pavements / footways

No. Ice and snow on footways will receive attention as soon as possible subject to resources. Priority will be given to busy shopping centres, hospital approaches, schools, colleges, health centres and care establishments.

Salt bins

Salt bins are usually placed away from the main roads near danger spots such as steep hills. Please do not use the salt on private driveways or paths. We don't supply salt to locations such as schools, offices or car parks.
