Road safety in winter

Find out how we keep public roads and footpaths as safe as possible for vehicles and pedestrians in winter.

Road safety in winter

We grit roads and pavements with salt to prevent delays on most routes and help keep services running. Car parks are also assessed for treatment.

We review our roads service winter safety plan (PDF, 801KB) every year and use  information from MetDesk to help focus our work.
