* How can people help Mark and the Team? By planning ahead before they travel.

During winter you should:

* Check gritting updates before setting off.

* Use grit bins safely and responsibly.

* Keep an eye on weather alerts to plan your journeys in advance.

* Stick to main roads whenever possible.

* Limit use of side roads, which may not be treated.

* Drive carefully and allow extra time for your journey.

Coventry's main routes are gritted to make sure you can get your kids to school, commute to work, and carry on with your day. By focusing on key roads, we help keep traffic flow even in the coldest conditions. Stay warm. Stay safe. Stay connected.
