Winter Gritting Route Requests and Proposed Changes in advance of 24/25 Season

12/08/2024 - Winter Gritting Route Requests and Proposed Changes in advance of 24/25 Season

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.
