Norfolk Winter

Norfolk Winter is here to give you the information you need to help you keep healthy, happy and safe during the colder months.

The Norfolk Winter team will grit whenever icy conditions are predicted by our weather provider and aim to complete treatment within 3 hours of mobilisation from the depot. Climatic and thermal differences within the county are monitored and this can lead to different areas in the county receiving different treatments at different start times dependent upon the daily forecasts throughout the gritting season. For further details about the delivery of the winter service read our  Winter Service Policy (PDF, 3 MB)

You can get the latest winter updates on Facebook and X (formerly Twitter), including weather warnings, when and where the roads are being gritted and disruptions to our services including recycling centres and schools.  Find out if any schools or other services are closed.

All our wintry updates on social media will be tagged with #norfolkwinter and we'll be encouraging others in Norfolk to do the same so we can all help each other.

If you have some winter-related information that people might find useful or interesting, please tag it with #norfolkwinter.
