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 (see list of maps 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 the Trust on
01225 366000, or your
local council if your enquiry relates to gritting on public
roads or pathways.
