Gritting and snow clearance

Please take extra care if you have to go out in icy or snowy conditions this winter.

We may not be able to grit around your home, however we will be prioritising our most vulnerable residents living in sheltered housing (map on right).

Don't slip up this winter

  • Take short, flat steps and slow down. If there are handrails, use them.
  • Be very careful when you first step out of your front door in the morning.
  • Even if a pathway looks clear, there may still be some invisible black ice.
  • Wear sensible footwear.
  • Be a good neighbour. If you are able to help keep pathways clear this winter, please do lend a hand.
  • Don’t use hot water to clear ice: you might create your own black ice.

If you have any questions or concerns, contact us, or your local council if your enquiry relates to gritting on public roads or pathways.

You can get more help and advice from the Government's Snow Code at Direct Gov.
