Gritting requests
In heavy snow and freezing conditions, our main focus is on keeping primary and secondary routes open. We cannot guarantee we'll grit roads that are not on these routes.
You can request a road to be gritted by emailing us. Requests will be prioritised based on where the need is greatest.
