Get Ready for Winter
Winter weather may be severe and can quickly cause disruption. This page contains information and advice to help you prepare for winter and help you stay warm, healthy and safe.
Every year we produce a Winter Service Plan 2012/13 (PDF, 7MB). The plan lists the priority roads and streets we will keep free from snow and ice so far as is reasonably practical.
