Winter Gritting and Snow Clearance

Winter gritting

• The local authority is responsible for many roads and footpaths, this includes several of our developments. These are commonly referred to as “adopted” areas.
• We have installed grit bins in all our non-adopted estates.
• These grit bins have recently been replenished with grit.
• We do not carry out any gritting on a reactive basis, i.e. at the request of residents
• We do not grit on a preventative basis, i.e. in anticipation of snow/frost
• Residents can use the grit provided to grit their own paths and common footpaths around their homes, if they wish and at their own risk.
• If the handyperson is at your property and grit is required, this will be completed as part of the handyperson task.
• We will endeavour to ensure that there is an adequate supply of grit but do not provide a grit spreading service.
• Please let us know if the grit bin in your area needs to be refilled as the Winter season progresses, and we will arrange this.
