Gritting near schools and emergency school closures

We give priority to roads carrying the most traffic and the main routes between the busiest areas.

Unfortunately, it is not possible for us to grit all roads leading to all schools in the county.

You can find out which routes to schools are gritted on our gritting routes map.

How do I find out if schools are open during winter weather?

You can find out if schools are open by:

  • Listening to local radio.
  • Subscribing to East Sussex Councils RSS Alerts.
  • Viewing East Sussex County Council's website for all emergency school closures
  • Contacting your child's school.
