Winter gritting in Bebington and Birkenhead

The Highways Department has confirmed crews are on standby 24 hours a day, seven days a week, ready to spread rock salt on the main roads to minimise any impact there might be from ice or snow forming on the road surface.

There are 737 miles of roads in Wirral and the Council prioritises 288 miles of well-used major roads and bus routes. See this map for the roads which are gritted A fleet of ten gritters spreads a total of 2,100 tonnes of salt in an average winter.

In addition to the gritting done on the borough’s planned routes, grit bins are also in the process of being inspected, cleaned and refilled where necessary. Grit bins are provided in some streets where regular salting of small areas of footpath and roads is needed.
