Gritting - Surrey County Council

Responsibility for gritting in the borough lies with SCC and the local Highways Authority. For gritting (and pothole) enquiries please see Highways information online (Surrey County Council website). You can also follow Surrey Highways on Twitter.

  • If you consider a problem to be an immediate threat to life and limb telephone the SCC Highways contact centre on 0300 200 1003 instead of using the online forms.

We do recognise that large quantities of snow is difficult to cope with. Therefore, we are committed to providing mutual aid assistance to our partners to help meet gritting demand within the borough.

We'd like to thank those residents and businesses who help to clear snow around their own and neighbours properties.
