Winter Gritting Regime

Hand salting and snow clearance

Summary

When a decision to salt has been made the following areas will be dealt with:

Exposed subway ramps, car park ramps and steps

Car Park entrances and exits

Exposed precinct and central shopping areas, steps and ramps

Central shopping areas

Bridges

To prioritise these issues, three alternative plans can be put into action depending on the prevailing weather conditions. Plan X is the initial plan to be implemented with the decision on plan ‘Y’ and ‘Z’ being taken by the CV One Company Operations Manager or Deputy.

Plan X - Normal Conditions

CV One through its contractor English Landscapes will operate plan X in the following circumstances. If Coventry City Council begins a City wide gritting operation, then CV one will grit. This CV One operation will start as soon as possible and if a night crew is on duty, they will start the process. In any event at 5am each winter day the English Landscape Cleansing Supervisor will obtain the weather conditions for the next 24 hours through the internet.

The following areas will then be gritted in this order:
