The council endeavours to keep highways open in adverse weather conditions under its winter maintenance programme which involves highway and pathway gritting on a priority basis and a snow ploughing service when deemed necessary following heavy snow falls. It also provides salt bins or salt heaps, which the public may use to treat paths that would otherwise not receive any treatment.
The council also sells 25kg bags of Rock Salt for the public to use on their own property. These cost £2.96 if purchased and collected from the Park Road offices or £5.37 if delivery is required.
Please note that a minimum of two bags must be purchased at any one time and this service is subject to availability.
