Last winter, some roads in the Peak District and north Derbyshire were impassable due to snow and ice.

Proposals to be considered for approval at a meeting of the council’s cabinet on Tuesday involve splitting the gritting network into categories according to priority.

The council could also offer an annual payment of £200 to external contractors to help.
