Severe Weather Duties

What happens on our estates when it snows?

• Caretakers will clear settled snow from entrances, paths near buildings and bin areas and spread grit.

• Caretakers will mop entrances dry throughout the day and put up warning notices - but please take extreme care.

• If the adjoining highway has been gritted and it is safe for waste vehicles to enter, we will clear settled snow from estate roads to allow collection of any build up of rubbish.

• We will not pre-grit estates when snow is forecast. When snowfall is heavy it will settle despite the grit, and if the forecast is wrong, grit is wasted.

• If you have any questions or queries about snow clearance on your estate please call your Estate Services Team on:
