WINTER RISK PERIOD  \n1.1 The Winter Risk Period runs from the 1st October until 30th April with a low risk period from 1st October until mid-November and mid-March to the end of April with monitoring of weather information and data taking place throughout the whole period.  \n1.2 Bradford MDC operates one of the largest Winter Maintenance operations in the UK for a Metropolitan District Council. On a normal gritting run there are 24 routes driven covering approximately 712 miles of the highway network representing a treatment proportion of 62% . Also two main cycle routes cover 4 miles.  \n1.3 In general the Winter Service utilises inhousedrivers to service its gritting fleet, the largest percentages of these come from the Highway Maintenance Section. Services including Parks & Landscape and Cleansing provide a smaller proportion","cbCaihTiPnHLZA6d","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihTiPnHLZA6d","pdf",3056251,38,"English","# INTRODUCTION\n# 1.
