As Calderdale braces itself for icy conditions and possible snow, here is a full list of roads that soon won’t be gritted by Calderdale Council.

As reported by the Courier, the council has said they have had to reduce the number of roads they will be gritting in order to save money and meet budget savings requirements.

This year’s budget, approved by council in February, requires the council to find savings of over £300,000 per year from its winter service, which can cost up to £1.7 million in a typical year, to deliver a winter service policy in line with national guidance, their statutory duty and available resources.

All roads on the previous gritting routes across Calderdale have now been assessed, with a risk assessment which prioritises high-use roads, roads that are needed by emergency services, and roads that provide access to community facilities such as hospitals, schools and town centres.

This has reduced the number of roads which will be gritted on a precautionary basis by the council this winter.

The changes will be introduced on December 1.
