You close the report saying investigation completed and to look on one network for the gritting routes, which I have just done and the A417 king Alfred way isn't even listed as a gritting route. As a H&S Consultant I expect this to be re-opened and added to the gritting list ASAP or a formal complaint will be made, I use this route to work everyday and this morning coming down towards Grove Road on a hill was ridiculously unsafe for a car let alone a cyclist

  • Thank you for your report. The Oxfordshire County Council typically salts roads between November 1st and March 31st, although this period may be extended if weather conditions necessitate it. Our commitment is to maintain major roads free from ice, reducing the risk of accidents and ensuring smooth traffic flow. Precautionary salting, also known as “gritting,” plays a crucial role in achieving this goal.
    For information on specific Oxfordshire routes that are routinely salted during the winter, you can visit the One Network website and select “gritting routes” under driver information.
