Winter Gritting	During the winter months daily decisions on what action is needed are made based on detailed weather forecasts and the monitoring data provided by our weather service provider. Forecasts are received at 5am, 11am and 5pm daily. On receipt of a forecast of adverse weather we will publish our winter treatment decision on Twitter
Gritting Routes	Roads covered in our priority one gritting routes are gritted upon receipt of a weather forecast indicating the onset of frost, ice or snow provided the forecast is issued sufficiently early. This is usually carried out prior to the onset of adverse weather conditions. Priority two and three gritting routes are gritted as and when resources are available.
