Residents clearing snow and ice from their street are advised to exercise reasonable care to avoid making conditions worse. People walking on snow and ice have a responsibility to be careful themselves. Please follow the council guidance:
Start early, it's easier to clear fresh, loose snow compared to compacted ice
Work during daylight, only work in the dark if it is absolutely essential
Wear bright clothing and footwear with good grip
Watch out for traffic and exercise care next to roads
Don't put snow where it might create a hazard for pedestrians or vehicles
Spread salt on surfaces after you have cleared the snow, a little salt goes a long way, use sparingly
Don't use hot water, this melt's the snow but may replace it with black ice increasing the risk of injury
Snow clearing can be hard work, don't attempt it unless you are fit and able.
