Reply to comment by marsumane in Gritting routes are ‘sexist’ says Cambridgeshire highways chief and ‘must change’ by Bald__egg

In our area they treat the main roads first and then move onto the major bus routes, everything else is left untreated and footpaths are never touched. I think that keeping main transport, and in particular public transport routes open makes sense.

It should be noted those mains roads are also essential for emergency services, not focusing on them would prevent ambulances reaching anyone whose had an accident

Exactly, and because most deliveries are by road they also keep the shelves stocked.
