(1) Introduction
The winter service for roads within South Ayrshire is carried out in accordance with the policies outlined in the South Ayrshire Council Winter Service Policy. This sets out the objectives to be accorded to roads and footways, with the exception of the trunk roads which are the responsibility of Transport Scotland.
The Winter Service (WS) will be operated in accordance with both the Winter Service Operational Plan, which is produced on the basis of treating an average winter’s conditions, but also capable of being adapted or extended to react to severe weather conditions, and the Winter Service Procedure RMS001.
(2) Statutory Duty
The WS forms an integral part of the roads maintenance function and by virtue of the Roads (Scotland) Act, 1984 (Section 34), South Ayrshire Council has a statutory duty to “take such steps as it considers reasonable to prevent snow and ice endangering the safe passage of pedestrians and vehicles over public roads”.
(3) Objective
South Ayrshire Council’s objectives in relation to the WS are;
The reduction, as far as reasonably practicable, of the effects of adverse weather whilst maintaining the availability and reliability of the roads network. To provide travelling conditions as safe as reasonably practicable having regard to financial constraints, resources available and prevailing weather conditions. To minimise delays, accidents and damage resulting from ice and snow. To undertake the winter maintenance service effectively and efficiently.
In order to achieve this objective it is recognised that a priority treatment programme is required.
The WS essentially comprises of the following three main components: -
Pre – treatment – “precautionary salting” Post – treatment – “salting following the formation of ice” Clearance of snow
(4) Operational Arrangements
The WS will be carried out by DSR, Roads Maintenance Services (RMS). The WS is funded from the revenue Budget.
Throughout the operational winter service period there are trained drivers available for each operational vehicle and other items of plant. All drivers have a basic knowledge of every salting route emanating from their operational depot and are capable of undertaking any route if necessary.
Outside normal working hours, throughout the operational winter period, there is at least one driver for each route, available to attend the loading point, load the vehicle and commence the route within one hour.
A supervisor with a means of communication to all winter service vehicles is available at each of our 2 depots all times during winter service operations to ensure that operations are carried out in accordance with this Operational Plan.
Document WINTER SERVICE Rev 6 Plan Page 3 of 29 Issue Date Oct 08
A means of suitable communication is available for each winter service vehicle.
(5) Weather Forecasting
South Ayrshire Council has appointed Meteo Group as their weather forecast provider.
For the duration of the winter service period South Ayrshire Council employs Meteo Group to provide a weather forecasting service, including ice prediction, and to monitor road and weather conditions. Meteo Group receive, monitor and interpret on a continuous basis climatic, ice prediction and weather radar information and forward detailed weather forecasts to South Ayrshire Council on a daily basis.
During the winter service period, Meteo Group post a 24 hour forecast on a dedicated website around 12:00 each day. This forecast is also sent to South Ayrshire Council by email.
Thermal mapping has been used to determine that there are effectively 4 differing climatic condition areas within South Ayrshire.
There will be a forecast issued for each of these areas, i.e.: - - Northwest Area 1 - Northeast Area 2 - Southwest Area 3 - Southeast Area 4
These areas are shown in the plan in Appendix 1.
SAC has its own road weather sensor site at Corwar on the A714. Transport Scotland has agreed that data from sensor sites located on the A77 trunk road at Dutchhouse and Crossraguel will be made available. The forecast will take account of all relevant road weather data available from these sites and other nearby sites in neighbouring authority areas.
The sensor site locations are shown in the plan in Appendix 1 and each sensor site has the facility to provide the following data: -
Surface temperature Surface moisture Surface ice Surface salinity Air temperature Dew point Precipitation Deep sub-surface temperature Anemometer Wind vein
Road conditions often vary considerably across South Ayrshire due to topography, humidity, wind speed, wind direction, residual salinity and traffic volumes. These factors all influence the possibility of adverse conditions occurring.
Adverse conditions can occur for varying periods, day or night, throughout the winter period and can affect all or only parts of the road or footway network. Therefore the winter service comprises of the following forms of treatment: -
Precautionary Salting Post Salting/Patrol Check Snow Clearing Condensed Patrol
Document WINTER SERVICE Rev 6 Plan Page 4 of 29 Issue Date Oct 08
The duty Winter Service Controller (WSC), in consultation with a stand-by WSC will assess the content of each 24-hour weather forecast. They will determine, based on the degree of certainty or otherwise of the forecast prediction, what course of action should be carried out for the next 24-hour period. This course of action may be one of, or a permutation of, the following: -
Precautionary salt at a specific time. Dawn patrol/check Condensed Patrol Police Call Out No Action
(6) Treatment Routes
Carriageway Salting Routes
The routes for precautionary salting are shown in Appendix 2. The routes to be used for post–treatment, shall be the same routes as for precautionary salting shown in Appendix 2, or modified routes where appropriate. The routes to be used for snow clearing shall be the same routes as for precautionary salting shown in Appendix 2, or modified routes where appropriate.
Footway Salting Routes
The route for precautionary salting and a list of footways treated by overspill from carriageway salting are shown in Appendix 10.
(7) Salt Bins
Salt bins are provided for the storage of salt, which is for use on public roads and footways. They are placed at critical locations and a register of salt bins maintained (Appendix 4). Salt bins will be placed at the locations identified in Appendix 4 prior to the start of the winter season. Throughout the winter season the bins are replenished with salt as necessary. In general salt bins will placed where a supply vehicle can draw along side to replenish stocks.
Document WINTER SERVICE Rev 6 Plan Page 5 of 29 Issue Date Oct 08
(8) Labour Resources
RMS will ensure that sufficient trained personnel are available on standby to comply with the requirements of any planned treatment decision and to allow snow clearing operations to be executed when necessary. The personnel available are shown in Appendix 5. By virtue of the Data Protection Act this Appendix has restricted access.
RMS resources may be supplemented from other local authority resources, farmers and contractors, should conditions so warrant. The resources available are shown in Appendix 3.
RMS staff on standby for the winter service are detailed in Appendix 5.
(9) Vehicle and Plant Resources
Specialist Plant
Specialist Winter Service plant available is shown in Appendix 6.
The current fleet replacement programme will ensure that winter service obligations can be met. Programmed repairs and servicing to the fleet will be carried out during the Summer months. The remainder of the fleet will be inspected and serviced as per Transport Services Inspection and Servicing Schedule.
Prior to the start of the winter season, RMS will carry out a ’dry’ run of each route, including the fitting and removal of the spinner/demount/snow plough, as applicable, to every vehicle so equipped.
Plant Maintenance
Sufficient qualified motor fitters will be on standby during the winter maintenance season. In the event of mechanical breakdown or other mechanical failure, any necessary repairs will be carried out without delay to minimise disruption to response and treatment times.
All of the salt spreading equipment will be calibrated prior to the start of the winter season. Calibration will be carried out in accordance with the manufacturers’ recommendations, tested and certificated. Re-calibration and testing will take place at any time during the winter maintenance season if doubts over the accuracy of spreading are indicated from salting records.
Non Specialist Plant
Non-specialist plant will be provided to assist snow clearing operations when necessary. This plant will be inspected and serviced as per Transport Services Inspection and Servicing Schedule. This plant is shown in Appendix 7.
Plant from Other Local Authority Resources, Farmers and Contractors.
Appropriate additional plant may be provided by RMS from other local authority resources, farmers and contractors for use, should conditions so warrant. This plant is shown in Appendix 3.
Document WINTER SERVICE Rev 6 Plan Page 6 of 29 Issue Date Oct 08
(10) Salt and Fuel
Salt is purchased by Procurement in accordance with COPRO3.
Salt storage facilities are located at Meadowhead Depot near Coylton...... maximum capacity 3000 Tonnes Grangestone Depot near Girvan...... ……...... maximum capacity 3000 Tonnes
The salt storage facility at Meadowhead is a Salt Dome and fine 6mm salt to BS3247:1991 is stocked. The salt storage facility at Grangestone is an external stockpile and coarse10mm salt to BS3247: 1991 is stocked. The location of the depots is shown in Appendix 1.
A loading shovel is available at each depot during the winter season.
Salt Testing
Salt will be tested for compliance with the specification on delivery by the supplier in accordance with the contractual arrangements. Random samples will be taken and submitted for testing to confirm suppliers’ results and to monitor the condition of the salt in store as required. Salt will be stocked to the following requirements
Minimum stock level during Stock level at 1st October, November, Depot October (Tonnes) December, January and February (Tonnes) Meadowhead 1500 500 Grangestone 700 200
Neat salt should normally be used to treat carriageways, but if conditions warrant it, the Head of Neighbourhood Services or nominee, may authorise the use of 4:1 salt/abrasive grit mixture. The maximum size of abrasive grit should be 6mm.
Excessive salt spreading is undesirable on economic and environmental grounds. Therefore it is essential that operational checks are continuous throughout the winter maintenance period to ensure that salt usage is maintained within the calibrated parameters.
Control devices will be fitted on all permanently mounted and demountable gritters to ensure that the rate of salt spread is indicated in g/sq.m.
Salt usage will be monitored by the use of weighbridges. All movement of salt will be weighed both out and back to the depot where appropriate.
Location of weighbridges Meadowhead Roads Depot, COYLTON Grangestone Roads Depot, GIRVAN
Fuel will be stocked to the following requirements

(11) Decision Making
The Roads Maintenance Manager will appoint suitable trained personnel to the posts of Winter Service Controller (WSC).
In the early afternoon of each day during the winter season, two WSCs will decide on the treatment to be carried out during the following 24 hours. This decision will be taken after considering all appropriate factors, including the following: -
(i) Weather forecast. (ii) Existing or potential moisture on the road system. (iii) Residual salt on the road. (iv) Consultation with Winter Service Supervisors.
The decision will be recorded on form “Treatment Decision” (TD) The TD will be transmitted to: -
Grangestone Depot and Meadowhead Depot. South Ayrshire Council Monitoring Station. Automobile Association. Strathclyde Police. West sound Radio. Neighbouring authorities, i.e. o North Ayrshire, o East Ayrshire, o Dumfries and Galloway Council, and o Amey Highways
The decision will be posted on a bulletin board contained within Meteo Group’s website and on South Ayrshire Council’s website.
After the treatment decision has been made, the WMC will check against the decisions by neighbouring authorities for consistency and reconsider if necessary. This check will be recorded on that day’s TD sheet before 1500.
A routine evening update will be provided by Meteo Group each evening around 19:00. This update will be posted on their website and emailed to South Ayrshire Council.
Document WINTER SERVICE Rev 6 Plan Page 8 of 29 Issue Date Oct 08
If the evening update indicates a change in the forecast then, if necessary, the WSC will amend the decision in accordance with the salting guidelines detailed in 5 above and issue an update to the TD form
The TD will be distributed as for the lunchtime decision.
If the forecast conditions turn from good to adverse at any time, then Meteo Group will phone the WSC, either at work or at home as appropriate.
If a further update is received from Meteo Group out of office hours, or should a report of unexpected hazardous conditions be received, then the WSC will amend the instructions as necessary, in accordance with the salting guidelines detailed in 5 above, issue an updated TD form and contact further staff as required to initiate any necessary actions.
Where appropriate, contact will be made by telephone with the adjacent authorities to ensure liaison.
The WSC will contact the South Ayrshire Council Monitoring Station to advise of any change to planned actions. The South Ayrshire Council Monitoring Station will pass on notification of the change to: -
Automobile Association, Strathclyde Police, West sound Radio.
On Saturdays, Sundays and holidays the lunch time forecast will be posted on the website and emailed as on a working day. The WSC will complete form TD and carry out the other actions as on a working day.
In general, the decision taken should be altered as necessary as information changes. The reason for the original decision and any changes should be formally recorded.
Rotas for the above personnel are as detailed in Appendix 8 (SEE SEPARATE DOCUMENT FOR DETAILS).

Document WINTER SERVICE Rev 6 Plan Page 10 of 29 Issue Date Oct 08
(14) Health and Safety
All winter service operations will be carried out in accordance with the South Ayrshire Council standard procedures.
As salt is removed from storage areas a positive slope will be maintained not exceeding 60 degrees to the horizontal to avoid danger to operatives and vehicles from the collapse of cliff walls of salt.
Care will be taken to ensure that salt storage and operations adjacent to stockpiles do not affect the adjacent environment.
Care and vigilance must be utilised to ensure that salt stockpiles do not become contaminated with foreign matter likely to cause damage to spreading vehicles and other road users.
Salt spreading will be carried out in such a manner as to avoid damage to other vehicles and pedestrians or other users of the highway. Spread patterns will be adjusted to suit the carriageway width.
No vehicle will be driven above the legal speed limit at any time, and whilst salting on de- restricted dual carriageways at a speed no greater than 40 mph.
Precautionary salting will be carried out from lane 1 of 2 lane dual carriageways.
All vehicles engaged in snow ploughing will be double manned where practicable.
Treatment of snow and ice on the network, at a few hours notice, constitutes an “emergency” and this work is exempt from domestic driving hours regulations. However, where winter maintenance drivers undertake other driving duties the domestic driving regulations apply.
(15) Operational Communications
RMS will make available a mobile telephone for all WSCs, WSSs and each winter service vehicle. Where the local terrain makes phone contact impossible over significant areas appropriate measure will be taken in accordance with health and safety requirements by means of risk assessments and method statements.
