Method

Acting on advice received from the Council’s weather service provider, primary gritting routes will receive precautionary treatment prior to the onset of frost / ice.

Included within the primary routes are all A class and B class roads and strategic C class and unclassified roads.

Roads which meet the council’s criteria of precautionary treatment applied to a minimum of one road servicing council schools, hospitals, health centres and emergency service depots, plus roads servicing high concentrations of employment, commercial outlets and densely populated residential areas and other roads of strategic importance are also included.

The exception to this arrangement is when the Council’s weather service provider advises that there is no risk of hazardous winter road conditions in any of the four climatic domains. In this event altered routes which exclude roads in a particular climatic domain are used.

A small number of roads within residential areas may be partly treated in order to optimise a predetermined routing system.
