I've been contacted over the past few days by quite a few residents asking about how and when the council treats the road network during the winter months - not surprising given the amount of snow and ice we've had to endure this week. To make it easier to see where the roads are gritted I've published a link to the council's winter roads service page which shows which roads are identified as gritting routes: http://www.durham.gov.uk/gritting
The page also provides a link to a map showing which routes are gritted under normal winter conditions (Priority 1) and those which are gritted in more extreme weather conditions (Priority 2) and also gives details about how and where the roads will be treated on that particular day.
There is also a separate link to the council's winter service information page which offers details about emergency road closures, weather warnings, salt bins and much more: http://www.durham.gov.uk/winterinfo
