Gritting and Snow Clearing

Last updated | 20/10/2008

This section explains how Perth & Kinross Council aims to keep the roads safe during the winter months.

The gritting and snowclearing service is provided to ensure that transport links essential to economic and social activity can continue safely throughout most of the winter. However, it is not the intention and is not possible to keep all roads free from ice and snow at all times.

The Council’s plans reflect the relative importance of the various routes, and the prevailing conditions throughout the area.

When the road and weather conditions (either actual or forecast) make it necessary, treatment will be carried out from October to April, between the hours of 6am and 9pm.
