Prolonged Severe Weather Conditions
If the UK experiences a severe winter and national grit supplies run low, the Department for Transport may take control of Lambeth's grit stock. They would only distribute it on London's Resilience Routes. To mitigate the risk of grit stocks running out, we have introduced three measures:
- We maintain a large stockpile of salt at the Milkwood Road Depot.
- We have identified Lambeth's Resilience Route.
- Lambeth’s Resilience Route is 50% shorter than our standard Priority 1 and 2 routes.
