Road Gritting & Gritting Bins
Nottinghamshire County Council grits A and B roads and major bus routes during the winter weather, which accounts for about a third of the county’s road network, and some additional routes during severe weather.
Pavements
When ice is forecast for at least the next 24 hours or snow is forecast and we have the resources available after gritting the road network, Nottinghamshire County Council grit the main pedestrian areas, such as those in town centres.
Grit Bins
Grit bins are provided and maintained where at least one of the following conditions occur:
- The site is very exposed and severely affected by winter weather
- A junction hazard is present
- There is very high pedestrian movement, especially near local centres or the site is used regularly by the elderly, very young or mobility impaired.
It costs around £55 to refill each grit bin. They are refilled once the road network has been gritted and as long as grit is not in short supply. Unfortunately, grit bins can become empty because of the minority of residents who take grit for their own drives.
Please only use grit for the roads.
