Gritting roads in winter

To keep you moving during colds spells, Transport for London and Islington Council use:

How roads are gritted in Islington

Transport for London (TfL) is responsible for keeping all red route roads clear (roads with double red lines on the sides).

They also clear tube and rail stations.

All other roads are maintained by Islington Council.

To keep traffic and people moving, roads are gritted in order of priority.

This means we are able to provide access to all the main transport routes of Islington.

Due to resources, not every road or walkway can be gritted.

As roads are gritted, so are their cycle lanes. However, some lanes are behind kerbs which can make it difficult for our machines to clear them.
