  • We’ve had a look at the issue and we have now passed your enquiry to the appropriate team to assess what can be done to resolve the matter.

    We will now investigate and provide you with an update within the next 14 days; we’ll let you know when that assessment has taken place.

    In the meantime, you can find out more about our winter maintenance service on our website at www.aberdeenshire.gov.uk/roads-and-travel/roads/winter-maintenance.

  • During periods of winter weather and our limited resources, it is not possible to ensure that all parts of the road network are always kept free of ice or snow.

    We must prioritise which routes are gritted and ploughed, concentrating on busy, strategic routes first. This means that in times of severe winter weather there may be a delay before we are able to treat more minor roads and residential streets.

    Residents are encouraged to visit our website for full details of our winter maintenance service, including gritting routes at: www.aberdeenshire.gov.uk/roads-and-travel/roads/winter-maintenance

    We value all enquiries and will use your feedback to improve future services. However, please note that no further updates will be provided on individual enquiries.

    State changed to: No further action
