Access Tools

Gritting is prioritised in accordance with the recommendations contained in the National Code of Practice.

• Priority A – Strategic routes, principal roads, important classified roads and bus routes
• Priority B – All other classified roads, important unclassified roads and bus routes
• Priority C – In prolonged periods of lying snow/ice, estate and minor access roads in hilly or exposed locations will be treated, and consideration given to important footway routes (e.g. shopping precints)

In severe weather conditions pedestrian routes are treated in priority order:

• Town centre streets / main pedestrian routes
• Shopping frontages
• Busy pedestrian routes
• Hospitals and doctors surgery frontages / routes
• School frontages / routes
• Community centre frontages / routes
• Steep sections of footway / footpaths
• Predominately elderly residents areas
• Other residential areas
• Industrial estates

Knowsley council do not provide grit bins, though we can supply salt if required. Please contact us for further information.
