Winter service: gritting routes and budget cuts
The committee agreed to recommend that Cabinet approve a revised assessment matrix, which scores each route for pre-treatment with salt, to align it with the new Code of Practice for Highway Safety Inspection. The threshold score for pre-treating routes is set at +1.

Items are linked when their titles share most of their words and they fall within 18 months of each other. Councils don't number reports across meetings, so a few links may be wrong, and a step may be missing if its title changed a lot. Each step links to the meeting, where the council's own papers are.
