Local Authorities have been asked by the Secretary of State and the Local Government Association to reduce their usage of rock salt by 25% to help conserve the available supplies.
This request has been considered by Doncaster Council, and in order to achieve this a revised precautionary treatment network plan has been produced.
Further reductions as requested by the Secretary of State are being achieved by a variety of options including use of alternative materials.
Below is a link to the plan showing the roads maintained by Doncaster Council that are on the Authority's precautionary salting network for the Winter of 2009/10, it also details grit bin locations.
A network of some 530Km of 'A' roads, 'B' roads and other strategic routes is covered by precautionary salting, which is approximately 35% of the Council's roads.
During the Winter period motorists cannot and should not assume that any particular section of road has been salted and must proceed in a manner and at a speed that is in accordance with the conditions.
The location of the grit bins in the Doncaster Borough can be viwed on the Salting Routes map or alternatively a full list can be downloaded below:
