Local Authorities are required to carry out an annual review of their winter operations and prepare a Winter Service Plan prior to the onset of winter. The purpose of the plan is to identify the processes, procedures and resources utilised in the provision of a winter maintenance service. Monaghan County Council in its plan endeavours to maintain a clearly defined network of priority traffic routes in a passable condition subject to resource availability. Primary responsibility for road safety remains at all times with all road users particularly drivers of vehicles.
