Questions

Gritting — FAQ

Are the roads being gritted tonight?

Councils decide from road-surface forecasts, and a handful publish live gritter trackers (listed first below): Transport Scotland's trunk roads, the Ayrshire Roads Alliance, North and South Lanarkshire, West Lothian, North Yorkshire, Essex, Cheshire East, Leeds and Walsall. For other areas, the council's gritting-route map shows which roads are treated when it does grit.

Which roads get gritted?

Each council grits a priority network, typically main roads, bus routes and steep hills, shown on its gritting-route map. Motorways and major A-roads in England are treated by National Highways, and trunk roads in Scotland by Transport Scotland's operators. Side streets and pavements are rarely gritted.

How can I find my council's gritting routes?

Search your council below, or use GOV.UK's "Find out which roads your council will grit" service for any council in England and Wales; Scotland's councils are listed on mygov.scot.
