People can keep up to date with news and information on gritting via the live feed here - which includes not only Dudley Council, but neighbouring authorities too.
The gritting team, based at the council’s Lister Road depot, will work around the clock to keep more than 470 kilometres of road clear during severe weather. A staggering 6,500 tonnes of salt was ordered onto site earlier this year, the same as last winter.
With ten lorries and eight gritting routes, the team makes sure all of the borough’s principal routes, classified roads, town centre and bus routes are salted throughout the winter.
More than 1,000 grit bins, located across the borough, have also been filled with salt, for people to use on the highway as and when needed.
Last winter Dudley gritters went out 58 times to treat borough roads, using a total of 5,500 tonnes of grit to ensure road networks and side roads remained open.
