We prioritise the gritting of four main routes known as 'Primary Routes' that cover the major roads, bus routes, other busy roads, and selected hills on secondary and minor roads within Southend.
For more information on the legislation and responsibility of gritting see the pages below. For useful advice about planning your journey, dealing with adverse weather conditions, what you can do to help during severe weather conditions and the Keep Warm Keep Well campaign please see the Related FAQs in the Related items area on the right hand side of this page.
