Gritting Update

THIS UPDATE WAS ISSUED BY THURROCK COUNCIL (1 DEC 2010)

The main routes were gritted three times last night throughout the ongoing snow and these roads are now in good condition.

Recycling and refuse collection remain suspended due to the additional snowfall which has made many streets off the main routes difficult and dangerous to access with a refuse freighter. We are closely monitoring weather conditions and will resume collection services as soon as it is safe to do so. Refuse collection staff will again be reassigned to snow clearing.

Snow clearing will continue today and many areas that were cleared yesterday will need to be cleared again today because of the overnight snowfall.

Thanks you for your patience as we work our way through this difficult weather period.
