Gritting services for Newry businesses

Newry sits on the A1 corridor between Belfast and Dublin, with retail, logistics and cross-border distribution sites that run around the clock. Sites towards the Mournes and Slieve Gullion can be far colder than the city centre on the same night.

Parts of the Newry area sit on higher, exposed ground, where frost forms earlier in the evening and snow settles more readily than in the lowlands. Sites here are given their own trigger and treated first on cold nights.
