Generally most LGA only grit bus routes, or outlying areas. They dont normally venture into the estates unless their bin wagons are having a problem getting up any banks on the estates, a series of accidents on a particular road etc. TBH the wagons probably would have to work 24/7 if all the roads authority area were gritted.
On a side note our lads gritting reckon the salt stockton council are using is shite and not as good as used in the past. Roads have been gritted on 20 gram spread 2 -3 times daily and its not been shifting the snow as it should.
