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.

Why don’t you routinely grit paths and footways?
(Footways)
We don’t carry out precautionary gritting of paths and footways, but we do undertake post treatment, meaning we apply salt after the ice or snow fall.
Priority 1 and 2 footpath routes are gritted when snow or severe icy conditions are predicted to last for a long period.
