Surrey’s team of gritter drivers are now available 24/7 to help keep residents moving during the colder months.
Our 39 state-of-the art gritting vehicles are ready to grit the county’s busiest routes before and during severe weather, using the 10,000 tonnes of salt stored at our four Surrey depots.
Winter arrangements typically begin in October and run until the end of March although this period can be extended depending on weather conditions.
Matt Furniss, Cabinet Member for Highways, Transport and Economic Growth said, “We’re committed to keeping drivers safe here in Surrey and investing in our roads.
“When temperatures plummet, our highways teams across the county will be ready to work around the clock to keep traffic moving on our primary routes using our new, efficient gritters.
“Keeping our roads safe this winter is part of a series of highways improvements we’ll be making across our busy network.”
