Winter maintenance – Snow clearance
Snow clearance involves implementing extensive emergency plans and includes the mobilisation of resources all aimed at clearing roads affected in the shortest time possible.
Snow ploughing commences whenenter amountmm of snow has fallen and snow continues to fall.
Our aim is to clear all priority roads and motorways of snow, as soon as conditions permit, and clearance work will continue as necessary.
In certain extreme conditions it may be necessary to spread a mixture of salt and grit to achieve traction, particularly in the case of compacted snow.
