Conditions will be monitored
Adam McArthur, head of environmental services and open spaces at the council, said:
In anticipation of snow and ice that was forecast, our teams went out at 9pm on Wednesday night and again at 1am this morning. With the forecast still showing some icy conditions, we went out at 5am and have deployed our crews again on the major highway network following the most recent flurry.
Our weather monitoring indicates a break in the snow from lunchtime today, however we are expecting some rain later in the afternoon, but we will continue to monitor conditions and act in accordance with our winter maintenance plan.”
In addition to the gritting fleet being out, street sweeping crews have also undertaken gritting of the city centre last night and assisted with arterial roads. Street sweeping crews, supported by the council’s Love Your Neighbourhood teams, have also been footway gritting this morning.
