Why has my road/ street/footpath/ not been treated for ice?

It is not possible to treat all roads/streets/footpaths at the same time. Those roads/streets/footpaths for which the Council has a statutory duty to maintain are prioritised and the higher priority routes are treated first. In times of severe weather conditions some lower priority roads/streets/footpaths may not receive treatment for many days due to multiple treatments required on higher priority roads.  To check the priority of a road/street /footpath please see Appendix's C - F of the Winter Service Operational Plan

How often are gullies cleaned?

The Council try to clean all gullies twice a year but some gullies require more frequent cleaning.

How often is grass on roadside verges cut?

Generally once per year but certain locations may require a second cut. However, sight lines are cut more frequently.
