Here are the Northampton roads that will no longer be gritted as a priority in Winter 2018
The council revealed earlier this year that its fleet would be reducing the number of roads it will grit from October this year and taking longer to attend to them.
Some roads that would have been treated when temperatures are forecast to fall to 0.5 degrees Celsius have been downgraded in priority. These roads will now only be treated when sub-zero conditions are set to last 48 hours or more.
