Roads and Travel

Gritted Road

In this section you'll find information about why, how and when we grit the highway network during the winter.

Conwy County Borough Council and Denbighshire County Council have a joint cross-boundary Highways and Infrastructure Service. This innovative, collaborative approach provides a more sustainable and efficient management of resources.
