Council responds on gritting

Here is the reply I received about gritting on some of the steep slopes in Tranmere. Note that the future of grit bins is under threat based on the latest council consultation:

Dear Sir

Thank you, for your enquiry regarding the winter maintenance of the following roads Sidney Road Holt Hill and Holborn Hill, Tranmere. I can tell you that these roads are not included in our 10no gritting routes they do however have grit bins located at various locations to assist with adverse weather and they are also included in our Highway winter service operational plan as areas to be considered in extreme weather conditions.

I hope this answers your enquiry
