Footways

There has been some comment recently about pavement gritting and snow clearing. The following information is from the Aberdeenshire Council website.

Gritting Footways. Red = Priority 1, Blue = Priority 2, Green = Priority 3

Red = Priority 1, Blue = Priority 2, Green = Priority 3

“With regard to footway winter treatment it is important to recognise the finite resources that are available to the Council. As with the carriageway network, it is not possible to prevent frost or ice forming on all footways. In order to target resources a hierarchy of footways has been developed in order to prioritise the busy town centre areas where there is most pedestrian traffic.“
