question text	To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the level of gritting of (1) roads, and (2) pavements, during icy weather.
tabling member printed	Lord Mawson
uin	HL4382
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/12/2022 answer text <p>Section 41(1A) of the Highways Act 1980 places a duty on local authorities to ensure, so far as reasonably practicable, that safe passage along a highway (which covers both the carriageway and footway) is not endangered by snow or ice. It is the local authority’s responsibility to assess the need to grit and ensure that there are adequate drivers available to carry out gritting operations.</p><p> </p><p>The Government recognises that it is not possible nor proportionate to grit every road or pavement in the country. Instead, local highway authorities prioritise parts of the network that contain essential services such as bus routes, hospitals, and shopping centres. Councils provide winter information including details of their gritting routes on their websites.</p> answering member printed Baroness Vere of Norbiton question first answered 21/12/2022 11:16:36 answering member 4580 label Biography information for Baroness Vere of Norbiton

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/12/2022 answer text <p>Under both the previous and current operator contracts the operator receives a fixed fee and can earn a performance-based fee. Performance is independently evaluated against set criteria and considers all elements within the operator's control. The Performance Based Fee for the period covering 1 April 2022 to 16 October 2022 is currently under review. At this stage of the process, it would be improper to comment on the outcome of that independent evaluation.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Bexhill and Battle answering member printed Huw Merriman question first answered 20/12/2022 10:48:59 answering member 4442 label Biography information for Huw Merriman
