Priority scale for gritting roads

Maintenance manager at DOI responds to criticism

The man whose job it is to coordinate efforts to keep the Island's roads safe says there's a clear priority scale when tackling adverse weather conditions.

Gritting teams were subject to some public criticism on social media yesterday, after a through-the-night scramble to prepare major highways for the morning traffic.
