1. Winter Maintenance Service

Greater care than normal is always required when driving in hazardous conditions, particularly in temperatures that may freeze wet road surfaces.

Highway Authorities in England and Wales have a statutory duty under Section 150 of The Highways Act to remove snow from the highway. The Railways and Transport Safety Act 2003 added an addition to the Highways Act 1980 Section 41 which placed a duty on a highway authority to ensure so far as reasonably practicable that safe passage along a highway is not endangered by snow or ice.

People often wake up to a severe frost, scrape ice off their car and are then surprised to find that the roads have not been salted.

This is because action is taken on the road temperature being at or below freezing rather than the air temperature. Roads retain heat and do not cool down nearly as quickly as objects such as cars, therefore frost on a car can be a misleading guide to whether salting is needed on the road.

Salting is likely when road temperatures are at or below 1 degree centigrade, and moisture is present or likely to be present to form ice.

Frost does not usually affect road surfaces until late evening or early morning so whenever possible salting is carried out overnight or in the evening and outside the rush hour traffic peak.

The Winter Maintenance Service consists of the following activities:

Pre Salting The spreading of Rock Salt on roads before the expected formation of ice.

Post Salting Treating roads after the ice has formed when the salt will assist the thawing process.

Snow Clearing From roads and main footways.

Provision of Salt Bins Strategically placed bins throughout the borough.

The Winter Season commences on the 1st November and full standby arrangements are in place until 30th April. If adverse conditions occur outside of that period contingency arrangements are in place to respond accordingly.

1 2. Winter Service Procedure

The clients decision making procedures are detailed in Appendix A. The Council receives a specialised winter weather forecast provided by the London Met Office, which gives regular updates on predicted local weather conditions for the following 24 hours and a long – range 5 day forecast. This is based on predetermined Specific Site Locations across London.

A decision by officers has to be taken to carry out a pre-salting operation by early afternoon in order to mobilise staff and vehicles to ensure routes are covered prior to the formation of ice.

For all call outs the contractor must mobilise staff and vehicles to the salt depot within 90 minutes of the instruction. The five Gritting Vehicles, one being a spare can be pre-loaded at times of bad weather and kept under cover in Ley Street Depot to allow for a rapid response to call out.

The four vehicles can complete the routes within five hours of mobilisation. Under snow conditions spreading at 20g/m2 one cycle of the routes uses approximately 48 Tonnes of crushed rock salt. The Council has storage facilities at Chigwell Road Recycling Centre and Station Road Barkingside. The stockpile of salt is maintained around the maximum of 600 tonnes at the Chigwell Road Recycling Centre and with a facility at Station Road Barkingside. Plans are currently underway to develop the site and subject to planning permission construct a Salt Barn for covered storage of 1400 tonnes. This will increase the total capacity across the two stockpiles to around 2000 tonnes. The new facility will also offer efficiency as the salt will be stored undercover and an alternative salt material can be used reducing spread rates and using up to 30% less salt per run. Both salt piles will be monitored during the season and the stock topped up as and when appropriate. Due to the limited stock levels we are unable to supply to members of the public. Crushed Rock Salt is normally available from large DIY outlets.

The prescribed maintenance routes cover the Principal A Roads and strategic borough roads. The A12, A406 and A1400 are attended by Transport for London Contractors and the section of the M11 in the borough treated by the Highway Agency Contractors.

2 3. Policy Statement

When the prescribed routes have been treated then any resident will be within 500 metres of a treated road. The routes are geared to the efficient use of the vehicles, and the results of thermal mapping, which established the coldest locations, on the prescribed routes of the borough. The routes are chosen so that primary traffic routes, bus routes, roads of local significance for traffic movement and known isolated areas where frost problems occur are treated.

On the 12th March 2009 the Secretary of State for Transport ordered a review of Winter Service throughout England and announced that the UK Roads Liaison Group (UKRLG) would carry out that review and make recommendations to Highway Authorities. That review was completed and published in July 2009 and issued to all Highway Authorities in England. One of the key recommendations was that highway authorities adopt a winter service resilience standard. This is based on dealing with a number of days continuous severe weather conditions salting on a defined strategic minimum winter network. The guidance given for the purposes of defining the network and standard is to allow at least 6 days resilience of severe snow conditions during the winter season.

Therefore a Resilience Network is also in place, which mainly consists of the Primary Route with some slight changes to take in to account key Transport Links which will be treated in times of severe snow and when Salt stocks need to be conserved. Details of the Primary Routes, Secondary Routes and Resilience Network are detailed in Appendix C.

Footways are not treated as a separate exercise under the normal frost warning procedure and rely upon the overspill of the salt from the spreading machine to cover them. This process is becoming less effective year on year due to the increased presence of parked vehicles. For prolonged periods of snow a number of locations are treated and a priority list has evolved based around shopping areas, schools, hospitals, sheltered housing, residential homes, railway stations, pedestrian subways, etc. The priority list is detailed in Appendix D.

In addition there are approximately 64 salt bins strategically located throughout the Borough and these are filled at the beginning of the winter for use by all the Street Cleansing operatives responsible for the areas in question. These are listed in Appendix E.

Isolated incidents are also dealt with on request, especially from the Police, in response to particularly difficult circumstances, subject to availability of resources.

Where there are prolonged spells of heavy snow and ice the Council’s Highway Maintenance contractors assist the Street Cleansing Section with hand salting and snow clearance from footpaths focussing on the most heavily used areas and areas where vulnerable people reside.

In the main Redbridge is not usually affected for long periods of extreme weather conditions, and consequently resources are provided to deal with conditions that might be expected in normal circumstances. Officers and personnel are always ready to deal with the conditions when and if they arrive being on constant stand-by 24/7 during the winter season ready to react at short notice to the adverse weather.

3 4. Organisation and Responsibilities

Staffing and Operational Arrangements The management of the service i.e. route selection and updating is the responsibility of officers in the Highways Engineering Group within Civic Pride. The Council’s Direct Services Teams (DST) working under the direction of the Civic Pride Operational Director provides the call outs and Winter Service with the provision of personnel to both drive the vehicles and load the salt. Their Duty Rota is also found in Appendix F.

Group Manager/Client Officer Steve Grayer - Highways Engineering

Winter Maintenance Duty Officers (WMDO) Phil Anderson, Geoff Reynolds, Mike Hillsden, Dave Tarling.

Vehicles & Salt Storage The spreading vehicles are provided free of charge to the Contractor for the term of the contract. The current list of vehicles is provided in Appendix G. The provision of a suitable machine to load the vehicles with salt from the stockpile at Chigwell Road Depot or Station Road Depot Barkingside is within the contract. The salt is purchased separately by officers within Highways Civic Pride and is the subject of a quotation process at the time. A stockpile of salt at the Chigwell Road Recycling Centre is maintained around 600 tonnes, the salt store at Station Road Barkingside (subject to planning permission) will be 1400 tonnes, will give a total across the two stockpiles of around 200 tonnes.

Adjoining Authorities and Other Agencies Details of adjoining authorities and other agencies are found in Appendix H. Information to be provided The forms in Appendices I; J; K and L will be used to record the decision making process (or as many as are necessary for that particular occasion) and to communicate the information to others as required. If changes or alterations are to be made to these then the Client Officer and the WMDO will agree the changes and revise them accordingly.

Reporting procedure /Timing and circulation of information Appendix I will be completed every day by the WMDO for every day between 1st November to the 30th April each year.

Note: If the forecast is NIL no further action need be taken. This will be done as soon as possible after the Weather Forecast is provided and the first record no later than 14.30 indicating justification for decision taken.

Appendix J will be completed by the WMDO every day that there is a forecast other than “NIL” If there is any doubt then a “Decision Justification” log sheet will be completed. This will be e- mailed to the Client Officer as soon as possible after the decision is made. If further work is required a “Request to Grit” sheet will be completed and e-mailed to the Client Officer at the same time as the “Decision Justification” log. This will then be completed by the WMDO. Appendix K will be completed by the WMDO whenever precautionary salting is instructed. After completion a copy will be e-mailed to the Client Officer. Appendix L will be completed by the WMDO whenever follow-up salting is instructed. After completion a copy will be e-mailed to the Client Officer.

Decision Making Process (Restricted)

Winter Maintenance – Gritting Procedure Notes for Client Officers As it is anticipated that this may be copied and used on its own, it is important that this is read in conjunction with the full Winter Service Operational Plan

The Met Office Open Road Service will provide the information as to forecast issue times and content. Further details are given in Appendix B

The Met Office Open Road Service will issue a forecast every 24 hours and updated during the day and based on information supplied by E- mail and/ Text report to make a decision on what action if any to take.

Appendix I DAILY LOG SHEET Will be completed every day by the Winter Maintenance Duty Officer (WMDO) for every day between 1st November 2017 – 30th April 2018. Note: If the forecast is NIL no further action need be taken.

Appendix J DAILY DECISION JUSTIFICATION LOG Will be completed every day by the WMDO for every day between 1st November 2017 – 30th April 2018. Note: If the forecast is NIL no further action need be taken.

If there is any doubt then a “Decision Justification” log sheet will be completed.

This should be E-mailed to the Client Officer as soon as possible after the decision is made. If further work is required a “Request to Grit” sheet will be raised and sent by e-mail to the Client Officer at the same time as the “Decision Justification” log.

This will then be completed by the WMDO.

If further information is required regarding weather conditions the WMDO will be able to speak directly to a Met Office Open Road services Officer who will provide more detailed advice. (for example: – sleet at 2pm – will the temperature continue to be low enough for it to settle and then freeze – ring to speak to officer to confirm).

Continued checks via Met Office Open Road Services through period of inclement weather will always ensure the contractor is notified of any developments at all times

You will need to consider conditions – wet or dry and temperature (i.e. if wet and freezing need to grit / dry and freezing may not need to grit)

(a) Particular attention should be given to the possibility of water running across carriageways and other running surfaces e.g. off adjacent fields after heavy rain, washing off salt previously deposited. Such locations should be closely monitored and may require treating in the evening and morning and possible on other occasions.

(b) When a weather warning contains reference to expected hoarfrost, considerable deposits of frost are likely to occur. Hoarfrost usually occurs in the early morning and is difficult to cater for because of the probability that any salt deposited on a dry road too soon before its onset, may be dispersed before it can become effective. Close monitoring is required under this forecast condition which should ideally be treated just as the hoarfrost is forming. Such action is usually not practicable and salt may have to be deposited on a dry road prior to and as close as possible to the expected time of the condition. Hoarfrost may be forecast at other times in which case the timing of salting operations should be adjusted accordingly. 7 (c) If, under these conditions, rain has not ceased by early morning, crews should be called out and action initiated as rain ceases.

(d) Under these circumstances rain will freeze on contact with running surfaces and full pre- treatment should be provided even on dry roads. This is a most serious condition and should be monitored closely and continuously throughout the danger period.

(e) Weather warnings are often qualified by altitudes in which case differing action may be required

9 CLIENT CONSIDERATIONS

The decision to grit/salt in the light of expected freezing conditions or snow rests upon the Winter Maintenance Duty Officer (WMDO).

To be effective, salt must be spread evenly and at rates to suit prevailing weather conditions.

Use of salt /sand and ballast

Where salt is to be used, it must be applied in its neat form. Sand or ballast will be sent out later if considered to be necessary.

Care must be taken that salt is not spread needlessly, or wastefully, any lumps must be broken up.

In the event of mechanical salt spreading machines not being available, the spreading of salt, sand or ballast on the highway will be carried out by staff by means of hand shovels. In any event, this should only be on the instruction of the WMDO OR Client Officer.

Employees sent out to spread salt, sand or ballast must be reminded that care must be taken to ensure that it is not thrown onto pedestrians or vehicles.

Care must be taken to ensure that salt is not thrown upon lawns and flower beds and where practicable no salt is to be applied within 1.8m of a young tree.

Loading and transportation of snow

This Winter Maintenance Operation is based on the melting of snow by salt. Recourse to transport of snow will be a desperate measure and can be authorised only by the WMDO or Client Officer.

The procedures and options given in the Winter Service Operational Plan will be used in very rare occasions.

Council departments snow clearance procedures Due to the need to prioritise Highways, all other Departments will be expected to make their own arrangements prior to the winter season, and resources should not be diverted from the legal duty to treat Highways unless on the instruction of the Civic Pride Operational Director or delegated to the Client Officer. All other Directors have been informed of this and should have their own arrangements in place.

Specific Site Locations in the London Borough of Redbridge Section 1

SPECIFIC SITE LOCATIONS

HIGH ROAD/ WHITEHALL ROAD ROMFORD ROAD

ALDERSBROOK ROAD GREEN LANE

11 Section 2 Selection of Specific Site Locations

General comments Various weather elements can be used to define climatic areas, for example rainfall, wind strength, temperatures and incidence of air frost. The Specific Site Locations have been constructed using average overnight minimum temperatures between November and March, the core winter weather season. In data sparse areas, height and land use have been used as an effective way of delineating the SSL’s and feedback from the London Boroughs, plus local knowledge, have also been utilised to adjust the boundaries. Average road temperature maps have also proved useful.

Causes of different climatic areas There are various factors which affect the climatology of an area and any list will include factors that are not weather related, such as height of the ground above sea level, land use or underlying soil type, although these factors will often be reflected in the climatological records. High ground will normally be colder than a low lying area and as a result has a higher incidence of snowfall when long term averages are considered. The air temperature naturally drops by 1 degree Celsius per 100 metres increase in elevation. Sandy soils and dry chalk ground are more frost prone compared to other areas at the same elevation, as they are good conductors and cool down rapidly. In general, rural areas are coldest, but within the London suburbs land use varies markedly over short distances. In London the buildings have a significant effect on the climate, absorbing heat by day and releasing it at night and this is known as the Urban Heat lsland Effect. The topography of an area is also important because cold air drains from high to low ground at night given light surface winds, creating frost hollows. For example cold air is known to drain northwards across Wimbledon Common and Richmond Park and these areas are as a result colder than surrounding areas. The dry valleys in the North Downs are also notorious for being cold and are covered below. The reverse situation can occur with frost forming on hill tops and not in the valleys. This will occur when cold air sweeps in over warm ground and the lowest layers can, on this occasion, stay above freezing. This could occur for example as a cold front clears the area overnight, bringing clearing skies, lower humidity and lower air temperatures.

The Urban Heat lsland Effect Overnight average minimum temperatures are 2 to 2.5 degrees Celsius higher in Central London compared with the coldest boroughs. On an individual night the strength of the wind and the wind direction will be the main factors determining the magnitude of the Heat lsland effect and its shape. Nights with light winds, under about 10 mph, and clear skies will exhibit the greatest temperature differences between Central London and the suburbs and on occasions differences of 8 degrees Celsius in air temperature can occur. Winds blow most frequently from the west or southwest over London so that the Heat lsland extends northeast from the City itself when long term averages are examined. Again variations on a given night occur and, for example, with easterly winds the Heat lsland is displaced westwards.

Section 3 Road meteorology in the winter General comments This analysis has again used air temperature data to delineate the sites, but it would be unwise on a given night to infer a road temperature from air temperature measurements. The actual road temperatures observed across a site or borough will be affected by numerous factors such as road construction, shading of the road and elevation, as well as meteorological factors, and it is not possible to sub-divide finely enough to cover all stretches of road. Even within the domains there will be variations with local hot and cold spots. For example, well shaded roads will be colder by day but overnight, reduced sky-view in heavily built-up areas, will keep roads relatively warm compared to well exposed roads. The weather on an individual night will determine the distribution of temperature, but the climatic domains based on average overnight temperatures remain a useful sub-division. A possible sequence of events overnight On calm, clear nights lower areas will in general be colder and the London Heat Island effect will be at its greatest, with large temperature differences between area and the colder areas. On windy, cloudy nights, higher ground will be coldest, and the Heat Island effect will be least evident. Warning signs for a cold night are a clear sky, low humidity (dry air) before sunset and little or no wind. Dry air cools more rapidly whereas moister air may allow fog to form before the air temperatures dips to zero, with air and ground temperatures steadying off or even rising as the fog thickens. In the evening frost may form on grass and other surfaces that cool rapidly eg cars. The depth of this cold and possibly frosty air will increase as successive layers of the air are cooled.

The temperature of different surfaces A frost can occur and hoar frost deposits may be seen on grassy surfaces, car windscreens, car roofs and house roofs long before road temperatures dip to zero and indeed, frost can occur on such surfaces without road temperatures falling sub-zero on a given night. As a general rule of thumb road temperatures are warmer than most other surfaces due to a reservoir of heat beneath the road surface and the temperature over a grass surface can be 3 to 6 degrees Celsius colder than a nearby road surface. Blades of grass are poor conductors and do not conduct heat from the ground and air tends to be still between the blades themselves. Although metal is a good conductor of heat, parked cars are also cold, being thermally insulated from the ground, and cars can be one of the coldest surfaces observed overnight by up to 8 degrees. The air coming into contact with the grass or car will be cooled and dew is then deposited, with hoar frost forming if the temperature of the surface falls sub-zero. Hoar frost deposits are a good visual sign of a sub-zero surface, but absence of hoar frost deposits does not however mean a road, or indeed any other surface, is above freezing. These dry frosts occur when the humidity of the air is very low, typically with winds from the east and to a lesser extent the northwest.

Bridge decks Bridges and elevated road sections can be colder than surrounding roads, and could be the only portions of road in a domain or borough affected by ice or hoar frost. A bridge is not in contact with the ground and is therefore divorced from the heat reservoir, and it also has two surfaces which will radiate heat. In winter the air temperature is usually lower than the deep ground and so bridges tend to be colder and this will be most marked early in the winter weather season, and they can be colder by around 2 degrees Celsius. However, there are also occasions when these will be maintained at higher values than lower lying roads. After a long cold spell when the ground is well cooled at depth, bridge decks will warm more quickly when the milder air arrives. Bridges over rivers are liable to have more instances of hoar frost, due to the local increase in moisture content, but equally well may be kept warmer by the heat from the rivers. The London Borough of Newham has found the following, which helps to illustrate the above points about bridges. The areas over the docks and the Thames can get colder than the rest of the Borough and the proximity of water leads to frost or icy conditions quicker. The Bow Flyover and the Lower Lea Crossing are especially prone, as they are viaducts which are fairly exposed and above ground.

The Condition Indicators RAG decodes Road state is expected to be snow, frost or ice.

Road surface temperatures are expected to fall below 2C with snow, frost or ice Road surface temperatures are expected to remain above 2C with snow, frost or ice. ABIS decodes APLHA - Road surface temperatures are expected to fall below zero degrees Celsius but roads are expected to remain dry. BRAVO -Road surface temperatures are expected to fall below zero degrees Celsius and hoar frost is expected to form. ICE - Road surface temperatures are expected to fall below zero degrees Celsius and ice is expected to form. SNOW- Snow is expected. NIL- Road surface temperatures are expected to remain above zero degrees Celsius and snow is not expected. Alpha This covers occasions when road surfaces are expected to fall sub-zero but are expected to remain dry. However, this can be qualified by 'locally' if only a few roads are expected to dip sub-zero. Moisture sources may lead to hoar frost formation and seepage to icy patches, especially in more rural boroughs, so this often means that alpha, dry roads dipping sub-zero, will be qualified by 'locally bravo or Charlie'. This indicates a risk of hoar frost for example on bridges or local icy patches from seepage, water left from showers, refreezing snow melt etc. Seepage will only be mentioned if significant eg after a prolonged wet spell. Bravo This indicator refers to the deposition of hoar frost on roads. It may also be qualified for specific types of roads, eg more rural roads, bridges and flyovers, or by 'locally charlie'. The latter would be reported firstly if hoar frost was expected to form but some roads were known to be wet already, with a risk of ice forming, and secondly for conditions with marked hoar frost where the first vehicles to pass by would cause icy patches. Ice ( was Charlie and Delta) This covers icy patches caused by water remaining from showers, rain, snow, hail, and re- freezing snow melt. Seepage will only be mentioned when widespread as the water would also freeze, but that will largely come down to local Borough knowledge, in the same as water from Fire Brigade action and burst water mains. Again Ice may be qualified by 'locally' for specific areas, bridges etc or if showers scattered across London have left roads damp. Roads will generally dry within two hours of rain ceasing, but temperature levels need to be considered, as roads cool when drying out, a process known as evaporative cooling or chilling. Snow This covers snow events when the snow is expected to be deposited and cause road problems. Odd flurries of snow are unlikely to warrant use of this indicator, with these covered in the main text. This indicator will often be qualified by another indicator. Nil This is largely self-explanatory and indicates a night with no expected winter weather hazards and roads above freezing. The road temperature value quoted should be used though to gauge risk, for example, plus 10 Celsius is mild but 1 Celsius is more marginal and worthy of monitoring in later forecast issues.

A cautionary note about road temperatures and road state If street cleansing operations are carried out in your borough overnight utilising water, this will affect the road state and the road temperatures, as the moisture evaporates. On cold nights, say with roads forecast below 2 degrees Celsius, this could lead to icy stretches on otherwise problem free roads, as well as loss of previously distributed treatment.

Glossary of terms

Air Frost An air frost is defined as being when the air temperature, measured between 1 and 2 metres above the ground, falls below zero degrees Celsius.

Black Ice Clear ice which forms on roads due to freezing of standing water

Blustery Used to describe showers which are accompanied by strong gusts of wind.

Deposition This term covers the change of state from water vapour to ice without going through the liquid water stage. See Hoar frost.

Dew Liquid water formed on a surface by condensation from the atmosphere.

Dry frost The road surface is at or below zero degrees Celsius, with most roads expected to be dry but ice could form from seepage, burst pipes or in localised hollows where moisture persists.

Flash frost The rapid build-up of hoar frost on roads around sunrise. Roadscan change from dry to significant hoar frost within 15 minutes. See hoar frost.

Fog Suspension of water droplets in the air, at,or close to the ground.

Freezing fog Fog which forms when air temperatures are below freezing. The fog droplets remain in the liquid state, but will freeze on contact with trees and other objects.

Freezing rain When super cooled rain falls on objects below freezing, it freezes instantly and causes widespread ice. It is rare in the UK and is most likely to occur after a period of very cold weather.

Frequent Used in conjunction with showers,. It implies that nearly all areas will catch a shower and many places more than one. See also isolated and scattered.

Ground frost The term used to describe occasions when the temperatures on the ground as opposed to the air falls below freezing. The meteorological definition refers to a temperature above a short grass surface and is not the same as road frost. The direct deposition of ice onto an object where the ice forms white crystals and is usually highly visible.

19

Isolated Used in conjunction with showers and implies most places will stay dry, but somewhere in the area a shower may occur.

Prolonged Used to describe showers that merge together to produce a spell of continuous precipitation, generally lasting more than an hour and covering a relatively large area.

Scattered Used in conjunction with showers. Scattered showers imply that a wide covering of showers across an area is expected. Most places will see a shower but one or two locations may stay dry.

Wash-off This occurs when rain is sufficiently heavy to remove salt solution from the road surface. As a rule of thumb, rainfall of 2mm or more will wash-off treatment.

Widespread Used to describe showers. Implies that nearly all areas will see a shower and some areas will see more than one.

Wintry This term covers precipitation which contains ice in one of its many variants (sleet, wet snow, hail).

Conclusions

The area covered by the London Boroughs can usefully be sub-divided into Specific Site Locations based on air temperatures in the winter weather season. Road temperatures cannot be directly inferred from these domains, as many other factors come into play, but they are a good starting point. Road temperatures will vary across a given domain on a given night and this will be described in the forecast recording where possible. Bridges and flyovers are a special case and are generally colder than the surrounding roads and will be given special mention in the recording if warranted.

This guide is designed to help you to act in a neighbourly way by safely clearing snow and ice from pavements and public spaces.

Will I be held liable if someone falls on a path I have cleared? There is no law preventing you from clearing snow and ice on the pavement outside your property, pathways to your property or public spaces. It is very unlikely that you would face any legal liability, as long as you are careful, and use common sense to ensure that you do not make the pavement or pathway clearly more dangerous than before. People using areas affected by snow and ice also have responsibility to be careful themselves.

What can I do to help clear snow and ice from pavements and public spaces? Practical advice from highway engineers is given below. This is not a comprehensive list.

Start early: it is much easier to remove fresh, loose snow compared to compacted ice that has been compressed by people walking on it.

Do not use hot water. This will melt the snow, but may replace it with black ice, increasing the risk of injury

Be a good neighbour: some people may be unable to clear snow and ice on paths leading to their property or indeed the footway fronting their property. Snowfall and cold weather pose particular difficulties for them gaining access to and from their property or walking to the shops.

If shovelling snow, consider where you are going to put it, so that it does not block people’s paths, or block drainage channels. This could shift the problem elsewhere.

Make a pathway down the middle of the area to be cleared first, so you have a clear surface to walk on. Then you can shovel the snow from the centre to the sides.

Spreading some salt on the area you have cleared will help to prevent any ice forming. Table salt or dishwasher salt will work, but avoid spreading on plants or grass as they may be damaged by it. A few grams (a tablespoon) for each square metre you clear should work. The salt found in salting bins will be needed for keeping roads clear.

Particular care and attention should be given to steps and steep gradients to ensure snow and ice is removed. You might need to apply additional salt to these areas.

Use the sun to your advantage. Removing the top layer of snow will allow the sun to melt any ice beneath; however you will need to cover any ice with salt to stop it refreezing overnight.

If there is no salt available, then a little sand or ash is a reasonable substitute. It will not have the same de-icing properties as salt but should offer grip under foot.

Where can I find out more information about what I can do in an emergency? The Preparing for Emergencies web pages on Direct.Gov contain useful information on how you can prepare for the impacts of all emergencies.

Why is the Government publishing this information? During the severe winter in 2009/10, many people across the country worked very hard to keep our transport network open. This included many members of the public who cleared pavements and public spaces around their homes. Some people, however, were deterred from taking action to clear pavements and other public spaces because they feared that they might be sued. An independent review of the transport sector’s response to the severe weather of 2009/10 recommended that the Department for Transport should publish this note on good practice for members of the public in clearing snow and ice from footways and other public spaces. The Local Government Association published a report on behalf of Councils which reached the same conclusion. The Government is committed, as a key part of the Big Society agenda, to remove the barriers which may unnecessarily prevent people from helping themselves and those around them.
