Request gritting on a road or pavement

Instructions

Please use this form to request gritting on a public road that is not on a priority gritting route.

Gritting Routes

There are ten priority gritting routes around Rotherham. These cover major roads used by emergency vehicles and public transport.

We will grit these routes before a forecast of ice or snow. This takes about three hours to complete.

We will only treat secondary routes as resources allow. Individual requests for gritting are assessed once we are satisfied that the priority routes are clear and traffic is flowing.

Unfortunately, limited resources in severe winter weather mean that we cannot respond to all requests for gritting. Grit bins are positioned around Rotherham for you to to use on roads and paths.

Private Roads

The landowner is responsible for gritting on private roads and estates. Please contact the landowner to arrange gritting.
