Gritting routes

Gritting and Winter Service

The interactive gritting map shows treated routes and salt bin/pile locations across Staffordshire. For precautionary salting, the network is split into two tiers:

Primary Treatment Network

Our priority is to keep major transport and freight links clear, such as A and B roads and routes with high traffic volumes. It is not possible to treat the entire road network.

Extended Treatment Network

This network is treated only during prolonged freezing or snow conditions. It is not treated in marginal weather when extended periods of ice or snow are not expected.

Enter your street name or postcode in the map search to zoom to your location. You may need to zoom out to see your nearest grit bin and gritted streets.
