Winter maintenance across County Fermanagh
County Fermanagh centres on Enniskillen and the Erne lakelands. Its inland position and long, clear winter nights bring regular hard frosts, and rural business, hospitality and healthcare sites are often a long way from the main gritted road network.
Gritting in Enniskillen
Enniskillen is Fermanagh's county town, set between Upper and Lower Lough Erne, with the South West Acute Hospital, schools, retail and a large tourism and hospitality trade. Inland Fermanagh sees many more frost nights than the east coast, and rural sites can be a long way from the gritted road network.
