Winter road maintenance

The main priority of our winter maintenance service is to make our roads safe for your use. We also aim to minimise delays and the subsequent economic impacts of winter weather. In other words, it is our aim to "keep Shropshire moving" whatever the weather!

Our winter maintenance web pages contain information which you may find useful. Follow the links on this page to find out about:

• Our winter maintenance service - this page gives an overview of the winter service we provide.

• Winter maintenance: resources - this page gives information about the resources we use to maintain our roads during the winter.

• Our Winter maintenance policy statement - this page provides more detailed information on the procedures we put in place to manage ice and snow on our roads. Our latest policy statement for winter 2009/2010, together with policy statements for past years, are provided in PDF format on this page.

• Winter driving - this page provides advice for motorists, cyclists and pedestrians travelling in winter conditions.

• Winter road maintenance: useful websites - provides a number of links to external websites, including BBC travel line, local radio stations and the Met Office.

Our winter maintenance service leaflet can also be downloaded from this page. This leaflet is available from our Shirehall reception, from our five Divisional offices, our Customer Service Centre and local libraries.
