Winter road maintenance and gritting

How we maintain Westmorland and Furness's street and roads during the winter months, including gritting and salting routes and salt bin locations.

Snow and ice gritting map

When our treatment plan for the day has been determined and if our gritters are sent out in response to ice and snow, a map will appear on this page detailing which routes will be treated over the next 24 hours. 

Thursday, 13th March 2025

Forecast: Cloudy this afternoon, along with a chance of an isolated light shower. Dry with clear spells for much of the night. However, patchy light sleet or wet snow moving in towards dawn, allowing for some erratic RSTs under any heavier bursts. RSTs will fall below zero over higher routes, allowing for a slight covering here.

The roads marked in blue on the map are scheduled to be treated today.
