Find out when a section of road has been gritted
Click on the green road you want extra information about and text box will appear with the date and time the road was last treated. This is updated every 15 minutes whilst the gritters are operational.
Some text boxes will display multiple screens (which can be scrolled through using the arrow button), this occurs when several roads or sections of road start or finish at the same point. You can check you are viewing the correct information, as this section of road will be highlighted in green to illustrate that it corresponds to the information on display. If this is not the information you want just scroll through the screens until the required area of road displays in green, and the correct text appears.
No routes displayed?
This means there is no gritting planned for the time period specified if no roads are highlighted in purple. If no road is shown in a specific area then no gritting is planned for that area.
How often is the information updated?
The map is reset every 12 hours at 2.00am and 2.00pm, for the following 12 hours, confirming all proposed and completed gritting during this period.
