Purpose

Consideration of requests for additions,
deletions or other amendments to the winter gritting
routes.

Decision

Amendments to the current winter maintenance
service in line with the Council’s Policy and uniformity of
service across the county, as detailed in the report, are approved
except the request number 8 in Area 6.

Officers come back to a future meeting after reviewing their
recommendation on route 8 in Area 6 with respect to whether the
route could be added, leading to some efficiencies in the gritting
in this location, plus whether it could be considered for
pre-salting in advance of difficult weather conditions. Officers
should also discuss the nature of the route with North Yorkshire
Highways to understand their concerns over the safety of the route
in severe winter conditions.
