Winter Maintenance is carried out by Cambridgeshire County Council throughout Huntingdonshire. Approximately 40% of the road network is treated and priority is given to maintaining safe driving conditions on an agreed network of roads which will normally include all busy roads. Priority is given to:-

• roads which carry the heaviest early morning traffic
• roads linking centres of population;
• B roads and busy roads adjacent to fen drains;
• roads which link salted routes with those of adjoining counties;
• making sure all road users live within a reasonable distance of a salted route.

Pavements and cycleways in town and village centres are normally only salted if icy conditions persist for several days.
