A plan to help West Lothian stay moving this winter has been approved.
Around £2.5 million is available to deliver the 2024/25 Winter Service, with a further £168,000 available if required through the Winter Resilience Fund.
Under the plan which was approved by Council Executive at their meeting on Tuesday 1 October, a minimum of 30,000 tonnes of salt will be available to treat West Lothian’s network of which consists of around 1,000km of roads and over 1,300km of footways.
Two dedicated crews will be in place to help replenish over 2,000 grit bins across the council area during the winter period.
A total of 25 self-help points where residents can collect salt supplies will also continue.
The plan covers the priority system which we use to treat roads and footways during winter conditions, with the primary carriageway routes being treated 24 hours per day as required.
