The 97 Northampton roads that will no longer be gritted as a priority this winter
The council revealed last year that its fleet would be reducing the number of roads it will grit from October 2018 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.

And about 500 grit bins across the county - 30 in Northampton- that were filled by the council during the big freeze earlier last year will be either removed or left to the community to replenish.
