Gritters will be out treating the Island’s road network overnight, it has been announced.
The fleet of specialist vehicles will commence a gritting run from 05:00 tomorrow morning (Tuesday) as a precautionary measure.
Motorists are being urged to drive carefully and according to the road conditions.
To find a list of all the Island's gritting routes, you can visit our dedicated Isle of Wight Gritting Routes & Winter Maintenance page.

Least we have genuine excuse for accidents now the ice is coming. Bet those E scooters will be popular now.
They urge motorist to drive carefully! What a joke, this is the island and most don’t understand the words drive carefully…
You could have ended that sentence with “Most don’t understand” the rest wasn’t needed.
Are you a school teacher??, my grammar isn’t good i know but I do try…
Seems rather unnecessary – hopefully there will be enough grit leftover for when it does actually freeze.
If the IWCC does run out of grit I will happily sell it some. I have tons of the stuff. At the moment I am only using it in my teeth, whilst politely refraining from telling illegal Immigrants from England to go home. Awaiting approval… Won’t be ‘posted’, probably. My last about fraudulent claims for grants from landlords with full holiday homes was taken off. Island Echo is way better than the champagne socialist publication: On the Wight, but I fear some people don’t wish to upset sponsors….
Being forced to purchase the far left BBC make me feel gritty, think we had problems with the Socialist Natzi party during world war two, we have much worse coming.
Absolutely, Truth. Auntie hasn’t been normal since J.B.Priestley stopped doing the Epilogue on the wireless. Some telly was all right, but mostly it has been an important instrument of perversion in recent years to convince sane people that their quasi-traditional medium is on a woke crusade to purge Britain of people who can think for themselves.
Hardly breaking news, wait till January when we need gritters ,the council will turn around and say cant afford anymore , then give themselves a pay rise
Yeah severe weather right now….make these oap drivers drive 5mph in a 30..
