  1. The more information you include in this form, the faster we will be able to address your issue.
  1. PLEASE READ if you are requesting ROAD gritting or snow clearance:
  2. For treatment of normal overnight frost a selected network of main and strategic routes is routinely salted to deter the formation of ice (precautionary gritting). Gritting the routinely treated network normally takes about three hours and we aim to complete this by 8.00am on weekday mornings.
  3. In conditions of widespread icing when freezing is expected to continue through the day and in light snow falls, in addition to precautionary gritting routes, second priority roads will be gritted. These include access to communities where there are no alternative gritted roads, important bus routes and urban distributor roads.

  7. PLEASE READ if you are requesting FOOTWAY or CYCLEWAY gritting or snow clearance:
  8. Following overnight frost footways and cycleways will NOT be gritted, apart from those causing exceptional difficulty due to a steep gradient, higher risk of ice formation and a high early morning pedestrian movement.
  9. In continuing and prolonged ice or snow conditions, as resources become available, treatment will be extended progressively to main footways in town centres, busy urban shopping areas and footpaths adjacent to schools.
  10. PLEASE READ if you are requesting a GRIT BIN:
  11. We provide more than 1600 grit bins in locations with steep gradients, steps or difficult junctions and any requests for a grit bin must meet this criteria. Grit bins are filled at the start of winter and are replenished as necessary.
