For the latest news on traffic and roads in Gloucestershire, see BBC Travel News No snow reports at the current time. Keeping the roads in the Parish free from ice and snow is the responsibility of Gloucestershire County Council. Roads that have been identified as priority routes are pre-salted and dealt with first in the case of ice and snow. Snow wardens work with the County Divisional Surveyors to help clear snow, and to keep the County Council informed of the conditions in outlying villages. Grit bins are provided by both the County and the Parish Council, but providing the grit/salt itself is the responsibility of the County Council. Grit/salt from a roadside bin or heap is for use on public roads only, and if you use it yourself please remember just a little goes a long way. Bins are difficult to replenish in bad conditions, and even a fine sprinkling of grit/salt is very effective in temperatures down to about -10C. For more information on salting, salting routes, and how Gloucestershire County Highways decide on when to salt, see www.gloucestershire.gov.uk/winter. | |
