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
