SCHOOL GRITTING
ROCHDALE

Rochdale sits in the Roch Valley with the Pennine hills rising steeply to the north and east. The town is exposed to cold air from the Pennines and the surrounding elevated areas experience significantly worse winter conditions than the valley floor. Schools and colleges in Rochdale have a particular duty of care to pupils, parents and staff during winter. Car parks, drop-off zones, pedestrian paths and entrance areas must be safe before the school day begins — which means gritting needs to happen in the early hours, not after the first incident.

West Yorkshire Gritting Co provides specialist school gritting in Rochdale with early-morning deployment timed to ensure car parks, drop-off zones and pedestrian areas are treated before pupils and staff arrive. Rochdale has a strong commercial and industrial base with significant logistics, manufacturing and retail operations throughout the borough including the Kingsway Business Park. We also provide gritting for business premises of all types — offices, clinics, community centres and any commercial property where public access creates a duty of care.
