Winter Service FAQs
Winter can bring tricky road conditions. With a small workforce and miles of rural roads to cover, we take a prioritised approach to treating our roads for ice and snow. Full details are available on our Winter Service Plan page but here are some of the most commonly received questions.
What time do you normally grit?
(How, when and where we grit roads)
Carriageway routine treatment – Treatment to commence no earlier than 06:00 and no new routes to be started after 18:00.
Footway routine treatment – Prioritised treatment will be provided Monday to Saturday 06:00 to 16:00. A reduced service, subject to available resources, will be provided on all days observed by the workforce as local holidays.
