Renfrewshire Council

Priority footways and footpaths for gritting are:

1. Paisley town centre pedestrian areas.
2. Other designated areas of high pedestrian usage, e.g. shopping areas, precincts, routes serving schools, hospitals and dependent establishments.
3. All other public footways/footpaths.

Subject to the availability of resources, Category 1 footways/footpaths will be treated in conjunction with priority 2 carriageways.

Category 2 footways/footpaths will generally only be considered for treatment after significant snow or ice events. The appropriate treatment would be a salt/grit mix which would be applied during normal working hours where resources allow.

There may be occasions when Category 2 footways/footpaths are pre-treated during normal working hours if freezing is forecast to follow heavy rain.

Category 3 footways/footpaths will only be considered for treatment during extended severe snow or ice events as resources allow.
