Gritting

Road surface temperatures are forecast to drop to -4.5°C this evening, so all roads will be gritted tonight. Salt can be spread either before or after frost, ice, or snow has settled, but it loses effectiveness at around -6°C and needs to be disturbed by foot or vehicle traffic to activate. Please be cautious on less frequently used roads, as they may still be slippery.

Mitie will also be available tomorrow to grit any areas as needed, including the Park Steps.
