Keeping Essex Moving in Icy Conditions
The County Council is required to focus its gritting resources on keeping major roads clear, so it operates a precautionary salting network. This includes all ‘A’ and ‘B’ roads, access routes for emergency services, rural link roads and major public transport routes.
Residents can check which roads will be gritted and get the latest advice on safe winter travel by visiting http://www.essexhighways.org/Winter-Maintenance.aspx
For the latest traffic and travel updates residents can sign up to the Essex Travel Twitter feed or visit www.essex.gov.uk/traffic. Alternatively they can stay tuned to local radio stations for the latest traffic bulletins and weather forecasts.
Residents are also advised that they can take action to clear their own local pavements and pathways of snow and ice, as long as they take a careful and common sense approach.Further guidance on this is available at http://www.essexhighways.org/Winter-Maintenance.aspx
