Gritters keep the county moving during icy weather

The county’s 43 gritters have been out salting all A and B roads during the icy weather, covering more than 1,800 miles.

A treated link is provided from each main village to each major traffic route and, where possible, a treated link is provided to within 500 metres of all main NHS hospitals and all train and bus stations.

The team are keeping an eye on the weather around the clock, so they’re ready to head out whenever necessary.

Gritting can take place at various times, either before ice has set or once snow has settled – whichever has the best chance of working under the particular circumstances.

Remember. Even treated roads can be treacherous, so do drive with care.
