Winter Maintenance Policy

1.0 Vision

1.1 The Council is committed to providing a safer highway system in winter

conditions by gritting the highway as necessary, were required, and as
practicable within the resources available.

2.0 Links to other policies

2.1 This policy is designed to work in co-ordination with the:

Winter Services Operational Plan, Footway Policy, Code of Practice for
Highways Maintenance Management and Transport Asset
Management Plan (being developed).

3.0 L
egal Position

3.1 Under Section 41A(1) of the Highways Act 1980, as amended by the
Railways and Transport Safety Act 2003 the authority, who are for the
time being the Highway Authority, for a highway maintainable at the
public expense are under a duty to maintain the highway. In particular,
the Highway Authorities are under a duty to ensure, so far as is
reasonably practicable, that safe passage along a highway is not
endangered by snow or ice (the highway in the terms of the Act
includes footways maintainable at public expense).

3.2 To meet the statutory obligation, the Council has produced a plan to
enable the cold weather maintenance of the key routes and areas of
the borough. This plan prioritises the order in which the cold weather
maintenance will be done. Not all routes and areas in the borough can
be treated during cold weather due to financial and operational
constraints. Therefore the prioritisation is done in such a way as to
maintain an optimal level of traffic flow along major routes first. The
prioritisation has been done with reference to the needs of the area
based on specialist knowledge and the needs of the local community.

4.0 I ssues

4.1 The issues this policy seeks to address are the need to ensure:

• The main carriageways and specific footways are treated for the
public.

• As many eventualities as possible are catered for in terms of winter

maintenance e.g. severe weather, day time snow etc.

• The public is aware of the system we have in place.

• There is a clear and well recorded process of decisions and actions

taken in terms of winter maintenance.

3
Winter Maintenance Policy

• There is a clear criteria for routes and areas gritted and grit bins.

5.0 Objectives

5.1 The objectives of the policy are:

• The safe passage for vehicles and pedestrians of the network.

• A service that can cope with an average winter but having the
capacity to be extended and adapted to deal with extended or more
severe conditions than happen on average.

• A service that can cope with the possible conditions which may
occur at any time of day.

• To ensure that the public is kept informed about our actions.

• To ensure a adequate record of our actions is kept.

6.0 Key themes and principals

6.1 The objectives will be met by:

• Categorising different streets in to different gritting routes and the

placement of grit bins using set criteria.

• The creation of plans for alternate weather situations.

• The continuation and updating, where necessary, of agreements

between bordering authorities.

• The creation of an information pack, showing gritting routes and

giving other cold weather information, to be issued via the internet
and advertised through other media.

• Global Positioning Systems (GPS) information and decision records

being used to create a comprehensive record of winter maintenance.

• Adjustment of the footway winter maintenance to reflect the time of

day and day of the week.

Winter Maintenance Policy

7.0 Stakeholder Involvement

7.1 In November the initial draft was brought to the Area Committees for
consultation. The specific issues and other general comments from this
where considered when further developing the policy and operational
plan and were possible the suggested changes have been included in
the updated proposed gritting routes.

7.2 The Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council StreetScene Panel

Survey 2005 reported that 62 % of those questioned were very/fairly
satisfied with the gritting of major roads, defined as main bus routes
such as the A6 or Marple Road. Providing a mean rating of 3.72 when
it was marked on a scale of 1 to 5, where 1 was dissatisfied and 5 is
very satisfied, was reported. The gritting of minor roads was seen to be
less satisfactory with 25% of those questioned being very/fairly
satisfied and a mean rating of 2.53 being reported. The clearance of
snow was seen to be very / fairly satisfactory by 34%of being
questioned with a mean rating of 3.00 being reported.

7.3 It was noted that the older questionnaire respondents were less likely
to be satisfied with the gritting of major roads and other cold weather
maintenance than their younger counterparts

7.4 Consultation focused on winter maintenance was also carried out for
the development of this policy via a questionnaire in the Review
newspaper, which is delivered to all residential households in the
borough, on line via the Council website, and was also sent to a
random selection of business in the borough, as it was felt to be an
important issue that needed wide scale coverage. These consultation
results where looked at along with the consultation results from the
Citizen Panel Survey for StreetScene 2005 and the comments for the
Area Committees and GMPTE bus route gritting desires and
information about areas where more vulnerable users where located
e.g. sheltered accommodation. Consultation suggestions where then
included in to the final draft of the policy where possible.

8.0 Targets

8.1 The targets for this policy are for:

• Priority routes 1 – 5 to be treated within 2 hours of the

commencement of gritting.

• Priority routes 6 – 10 to be then done within 5 hours of the

commencement of gritting.
• Footways designated as priority 1 to be treated before 9.00 am

5
Winter Maintenance Policy

9.0 M
onitoring

9.1 A report on the winter gritting activities that have been undertaken will
be produced yearly to clearly illustrate the meeting of targets and will
explain any issues that have arisen.

10.0 R
eview

10.1 The Operational Plan will be reviewed annually and the policy will be
reviewed in detail in five years time.

6
Winter Maintenance Policy

Appendix 1
1.0 Management
Arrangements
1.1 The StreetScene Team will be responsible for the operational planning
and execution of the Winter Maintenance Plan, which will be developed
in line with the Winter Maintenance Policy.

1.2 StreetScene will:

• Provide, organise and train a labour force.
• Provide the equipment.
• Carry out the winter maintenance.
2.0 Treatment Priorities

2.1 The treatment priorities should be reviewed yearly to ensure that the
routes reflect the current priorities of the Borough. The current priorities
have been developed over several years, with reference to local
knowledge and thermal mapping, to identify the more vulnerable roads.

3.0 Carriageway Priorities

3.1 See the Winter Operational Plan for detailed routes and criteria for
priorities.

Priority Order:

• Priority Routes 1 to 5

• Priority Routes 6 to 10

• Tertiary Routes East Areas 1, 2 and 3, West Areas 1 and 2,

North Areas 1 and 2

• Priority routes 1-5 will receive precautionary gritting. Priority

routes 6-10 will receive precautionary gritting when priority
routes 1-5 have been completed. Tertiary routes will be treated
as required, where resources permit, after other routes have
been effectively treated.

4.0 Forecast related route adjustments

4.1 In reaction to certain predicted weather patterns only part of the

Boroughs road system may be gritted.

4.2 Wet spot routes – when the forecast predicts dry-freezing conditions
these identified areas will be gritted.

4.3 High Roads – the forecast may show that only the higher and more
exposed roads are in danger of freezing on certain occasions. In these
cases a limited route for the expected affected routes will be used.

7
Winter Maintenance Policy

5.0 Road Works

5.1 Where gritting routes are affected by road works or other official
closures diversionary routes will be upgraded to the priority of the route
being replaced and included in the appropriate winter maintenance
schedule.

6.0 Footway/cycle way priorities (See Winter Maintenance Operational

Plan)

6.1 These areas may not be treated on weekends where it is deemed

inappropriate e.g. school routes with limited use when the school is
closed. The areas that are gritted are restricted to those on steep
gradients that are main routes to:
• Schools
• Train and bus stations
• Health Centres and Hospitals
• Retail centres (Town Centre, District Centres
and Local Centres)

6.2 The above areas should be prioritised in to the following way:

6.3 Priority 1 - Footways which are identified as a priority, based on an

assessment of associated risk. To be treated before 09.00 hours

6.4 Priority 2 – Footways other than those above.

6.6 Priorities 2 would be treated if the adverse (Snow and Ice) conditions
were persistent and the resources permitted.

6.8 Due to resource issues these routes will normally only be gritted during
working hours. The number of areas that can be gritted is restricted by
the number of personnel and resources available to do the work.

7.0 Grit Boxes (See Winter Maintenance Operational Plan)

7.1 Currently there are in excess of 200 grit boxes, which are maintained
by the Council. The boxes are brought in for repair in the summer and
put out, in specified locations, in the winter months

7.2 Grit boxes are to be placed, as required, at the start of the winter
period and maintained as needed. These boxes will be issued to areas
that meet the Council’s criteria and may be removed in areas where
there has been a change in circumstance. See the operational plan for
criteria and current locations. Placement/ location issues will be
reviewed annually.

8
Winter Maintenance Policy

8.0 Additional Grit Locations (See Winter Maintenance Operational

Plan)

8.1 In rural locations, as opposed to grit boxes, grit heaps may be put out
to be used in periods of poor weather.

8.2 Treatment Priorities in Snow and Extreme Weather Conditions

8.3 Where roads require re-treatment, or other unforeseen circumstances

occur, then high priority routes would again be treated before the lower
priority ones. In snow conditions resources will be focused on the radial
routes first and when conditions ease revert to the other priority routes.

9.0 D
ecision Making

9.1 Decisions will be made considering the following factors:

• Weather that is forecast.

• Existing or potential moisture on the roads.
• Residual grit on the road network.
10.0 Weather Forecast Information

10.1 Stockport Council has a contract that runs from October to March with
the Met Office which provides daily reports between 12:00 and 13:00
on the weather conditions, to predict the need to grit. StreetScene can
also contact them out side this time and has access to website
information.

11.0 R
oad Closures

11.1 Where it is considered that snow has rendered a route unsafe for use
the decision to close the route will be taken in consultation with the
relevant groups including the police and Network Management.

12.0 T
reatment Guidelines

12.1 Precautionary Gritting

12.2 Criteria for precautionary gritting:

• Weather is expected to drop below freezing.
• There is moisture on the roads but it is not raining.
• There is not enough residual grit to deal with the conditions.
12.3 Spread rates to reflect expected weather conditions and existing
conditions. See operational plan for detailed current guidelines in use.

Winter Maintenance Policy

12.4 S
now

12.5 Guidelines for snow:

• Precautionary gritting will be carried out as indicated in 12.1 above.

• During periods of snowfall gritting or ploughing activities will

continue throughout the period of snow as resources and priorities
allow.

12.6 See operational plan for detailed current guidelines in use.

13.0 Labour Resources

13.1 StreetScene will provide sufficient personnel with an acceptable level

of training to be able to comply with the requirement that gritting be
carried out as specified in the operational plan.

14.0 Vehicle and Plant Resources

14.1 StreetScene has a fleet of nine gritters with GPS tracking systems for
precise information on routes that have been gritted. In addition they
have one grit trailer and 20 hand operated footway gritters.

15.0 Health and Safety

15.1 Appropriate Health and Safety measures will be taken according to

Health and Safety Legislation and regulations

16.0 G
rit Materials

16.1 6mm Rock Salt is used on the carriageway and on footways. Where
the corrosive effect needs to be lessened it is treated with molasses.
This is stored in the salt dome at the Adswood depot. The salt dome
stores approx 2000 tonnes of grit.

17.0 E
xternal Communication

17.1 The details of the winter gritting routes will be available on the Council
website and in libraries. The StreetScene telephone number will be
advertised as a contact for problems identified by public to be reported.

18.0 Arrangements at Boundaries

18.1 There is a long-standing agreement with the surrounding boroughs

where gritted routes pass out of the Stockport area to ensure continuity
of treatment along a route.

10
Winter Maintenance Policy

19.0 Records

19.1 GPS software is used to make records of the gritting work that has
been done on the carriageway. Similar information will be collected
manually for the areas that are gritted not using the gritting lorries, e.g.
Car Parks and footways, to ensure that the records of the works
undertaken is complete.

20.0 C
ost

20.1 The cost of winter gritting included in the budget is based on the
expenditure for a mild winter. Additional resources will be moved from
other areas of the Service as needs arise.

21.0 Notification

21.1 Major incidents arising as a result of winter conditions and closures of

roads, or parts of roads, in extreme conditions shall be reported by the
Winter Maintenance Manager to the Director of EED, StreetScene
General Manager, Relevant Council Members, Press Office, Contact
Centre, Network Management and other key personnel.

This Plan is to be used in conjunction with the Winter Maintenance Policy

2006.

Within this plan are the current criteria’s for decision making and the current
Carriageway Gritting Routes, Footway Gritting Routes, Grit Box and additional
Grit Locations.

Gritting

The criteria for gritting priorities are:

Priority Routes 1 to 5 include ‘A’ roads, major bus routes and other key
transport routes.

Priority Routes 6 to 10 include secondary bus routes, routes to schools and

district feeder roads that carry higher levels of traffic including sites with
special circumstances e.g. extremely severe gradients.

Tertiary, trailer mounted and supervisor schedules (routes done in smaller

machines) include all other district bus routes and other district roads with
steep gradients.

(Taken from Well-maintained Highways, Code of Practice for Highway

Maintenance Management, July 2005)

Grit Bins

The criteria for grit bin placement are:

Grit box positions are assessed individually and the following considered,
altitude – locations at high altitude are at greater risk of freezing, highway
gradient – steeper gradients are more problematic in slippery conditions and
nature of properties served e.g. hospitals, care homes, sheltered
accommodation, and community centres.

Grit bins will be replenished as necessary through out the winter maintenance
period.
