Winter road maintenance and gritting

How we maintain Westmorland and Furness's street and roads during the winter months, including gritting and salting routes and salt bin locations.

Snow and ice gritting map

When our treatment plan for the day has been determined and if our gritters are sent out in response to ice and snow, a map will appear on this page detailing which routes will be treated over the next 24 hours.

Forecast: Sunny and dry this afternoon. Staying dry with clear skies overnight, allowing RSTs to fall below zero with the risk of hoar frost, as well as some patchy ice around any areas of
seepage. Largely sunny and dry tomorrow morning.

The roads marked in blue on the map are scheduled to be treated today.
