@artdeco_fan @KentHighways Unfortunately we cannot treat all roads and some will need to thaw naturally. We advise motorists to drive to the road conditions along with advice from weather warnings.

@GrittingKent @KentHighways Yes i know you don't treat them, what i'm asking is why don't you treat these busy roads and can you please do it before there is an accident?

❄️GRITTING ALERT: Wednesday 7th January 2026 @GrittingKent will be treating main roads throughout Kent this afternoon ❄️

@artdeco_fan @KentHighways Hello, you can view the roads on our primary salting routes at kent.gov.uk/grittingkent

@KentHighways @GrittingKent Why aren't you gritting both Chegworth Road and Broomfield Road in Kingswood? Both very busy roads with many dangerous bends, slopes etc and the main routes from Kingswood to A20/M20. Please do them. Thank you.

Please see the advice below from the RSPCA for pet owners about washing paws after being outside where there is a chance of walking in salt. Please note that in Kent we only use rock salt and ready-mixed brine, and no other chemicals
