Decision Maker: Corporate Director of Environment
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: Yes
Is subject to call in?: Yes
Consideration of requests for additions,
deletions or other amendments to the winter gritting
routes.
Amendments to the current winter maintenance
service in line with the Council’s Policy and uniformity of
service across the county, as detailed in the report, are approved
except the request number 8 in Area 6.
Officers come back to a future meeting after reviewing their
recommendation on route 8 in Area 6 with respect to whether the
route could be added, leading to some efficiencies in the gritting
in this location, plus whether it could be considered for
pre-salting in advance of difficult weather conditions. Officers
should also discuss the nature of the route with North Yorkshire
Highways to understand their concerns over the safety of the route
in severe winter conditions.
The recommendations are put forward in order
for the Authority to appropriately deal with the requests received
for alterations to our gritting routes.
There are no alternative options that can be
considered as treating the highway network, so far as is reasonably
practicable, to prevent the formation of hazards created by ice or
snow is a statutory duty of the Local Highway Authority.
