Winter and severe weather conditions

What we do:

  • We monitor for certain conditions and act in accordance with standing guidance

May do:

  • We cannot clear snow on request as resources are deployed to grit per standing guidance, insurance advice and practice.
  • Where people have identified a risk to themselves they are best advised to stay put or seek assistance from family or neighbours.
  • In the event of having completed all gritting, only then can snow clearance be considered but is very unlikely to be achievable.

For standing advice and guidance (first published 2021) on Winter maintenance (adverse weather) see attached file.
