Staffordshire gritting crews have been deployed for the first time this year as wintery weather takes hold, with freezing temperatures affecting the county.
From now up until the end of April, road and air temperatures and a variety of forecasts are being monitored closely, with crews rolling out when temperatures drop below freezing.
As well as gritting crews, the county council’s hill contractors, who help grit higher ground where traditional gritting machines can’t access, are also ready to spring into action if needed.
All grit bins and grit piles across the county have been checked and replenished and salt stocks in highways depots have also been topped up.
