[Talk-gb-westmidlands] Warwicks Gritting --> Worcestershire

[Andrew Mackenzie]

Hi Steve
You are looking for the Local Authority's Winter Maintenance Plan, which gives the routes and gritting priorities. Some authorities make this easily accessible from their website.
In Worcestershire's case, some searching reveals routes in PDFs of Ordnance Survey maps (which are of course copyright restricted). Like this 
http://www.worcestershire.gov.uk/cms/default.aspx?page=9032
Those are the gritting routes. Reference ENV0709

What you need is the Winter Maintenance Plan Reference ENV0945
Which gives 'gritting routes planned for the Winter Period each year.' The website says there is an electronic copy available, but links to the maps of routes, as above.
There is a Winter Service Policy http://www.worcestershire.gov.uk/cms/transport-and-streets/streets/gritting/winter-service-policy.aspx
but that only sets out principles.
Try
Highways Control Centre, County Hall, Spetchley Road, Worcester, WR5 2NP

regards
Andrew

If so it will be massive job to tag the roads in Warwicks ( it's got to be twice the size of the authorities we've mapped so far!) - so lots of volunteers will be required!  It will be a good exercise to improve OSM data  in Warwicks as I just can't resist  realigning roads and improving junctions as I go round tagging for gritting, and if everyone follows suit then Warwicks will improve no end
