Winter Maintenance Policy

CARDIFF COUNCIL CYNGOR CAERDYDD

EXECUTIVE BUSINESS MEETING: 6 OCTOBER 2011

WINTER MAINTENANCE POLICY

REPORT OF CHIEF OFFICER (CITY SERVICES) AGENDA ITEM: 10

PORTFOLIO: TRAFFIC & TRANSPORTATION

Reason for this Report

1. To provide a further progress report on the implementation of the Winter Maintenance Action Plan (“Action Plan”) and approve the updated Winter Maintenance Policy and Winter Maintenance Implementation Plan.

Background

2. In December 2010 Cardiff experienced its worst snow fall since 1983, and the coldest December temperatures for over 100 years. The snow caused extensive disruption to transport and services across the City and, following concerns raised regarding the Councils resilience to such events, the Chief Executive commissioned an independent expert to undertake a review of the Council’s winter maintenance performance in the lead up to, during and immediately after the December 2010 snow event.

3. The review was conducted during January 2011 and the resulting report was considered by the Executive and by the Environmental Scrutiny Committee in February 2011. The Environmental Scrutiny Committee considered the draft action plan and welcomed it as a positive step forward in preparing Cardiff and improving the Councils resilience for future snow events.

4. The Action Plan, approved by the Executive on 10 March 2011, identified that many of the actions would be completed and approved by the Executive by 31 August 2011. A progress report on the Action Plan, together with the revised draft Winter Maintenance Policy and Winter Maintenance Action Plan were considered by the Executive on 14 July 2011 and it was agreed that the revised Winter Maintenance Implementation Plan be issued to all key stakeholders and specifically major employers and representative bodies of Traders in Cardiff, farmers, Emergency Services, Cardiff Bus and Arriva Trains for comment, and to receive for approval at its meeting in October 2011 a

final version of the Winter Maintenance Implementation Plan in preparation for the 2011-12 winter maintenance season.

Issues

5. The Approved Action Plan identified the need to undertake work specifically in respect of:

• The ‘immediate’ actions identified; • Reviewing the Winter Maintenance Policy in conjunction with key stakeholders; • Resilience Planning for extreme weather – engagement with the community & voluntary sectors; • The development of Gold Command arrangements; • Recovery planning in respect of the use of both in-house and external resources; • The installation of GPS technology on the Council’s gritting vehicles, and • Communication – both before the winter season and also during any snow or severe weather events.

6. All actions identified for implementation prior to the commencement of the winter season 2011/12 have now been completed. There are some actions that will need to be implemented should a snow event occur during the forthcoming winter, for example, timely communications. However, the necessary preparatory work in respect of such actions has been undertaken so that they can be effectively implemented if and as necessary. A detailed report on the implementation of the Action Plan is enclosed in Appendix 1. A summary of the main areas of work completed following the Executive Business Meeting on 14 July 2011 is reported in the subsections below.

Environmental Scrutiny Committee

7. As reported in paragraph 3, prior to the Executive approving the Action Plan, the Environmental Scrutiny Committee considered the draft action plan and welcomed it as a positive step forward in preparing Cardiff and improving the Councils resilience for future snow events. On 19 July 2100, the Environmental Scrutiny Committee reviewed the documentation approved by the Executive on 14 July and reported that “…the Council had done an excellent job in developing the Winter Maintenance Policy since February 2011. ” The Committee also felt that a caveat should be added in respect of the ‘Recovery Plan’, which had been developed as identified by the Action Plan, to “…avoid the Council being held a ‘hostage to fortune’ during such future events .” The Recovery Plan is discussed in more detail later in this report. A copy of the letter dated 3 August 2011 from the Chair of the Environmental Scrutiny Committee is enclosed in Appendix 2 together with the response from the Executive Member.

Independent Review of Revised Winter Maintenance Documentation and Action Plan

8. As stated in paragraph 2, the Chief Executive previously commissioned an independent expert to undertake a review of the Council’s winter maintenance performance in the lead up to, during and immediately after the December 2010 snow event. The recommendations from this review were incorporated into the Action Plan later approved by the Executive on 10 March 2011. Following the Executive Meeting on 14 July 2011, the person who undertook this review, Mr Brian Smith, was requested by the City Services Chief Officer to review the updated Winter Maintenance documentation and Action Plan and to provide a report to summarise his independent view on Cardiff’s current state of winter resilience compared to the 2010/11 period.

9. Brian Smith’s report is attached at Appendix 3. The report confirms that “A lot of work has been undertaken over the last six months, and this is reflected in the progress made with the Action Plan.” A number of recommendations are made, particularly in respect of: further modifications to the Winter Maintenance Policy and Winter Maintenance Implementation Plan; redrafting the Recovery Plan, replacing the detailed matrices with a narrative; progressing the preparation of outline plans for the deployment of resources during a snow event, and further consideration of the communications processes/procedures to be adopted during a snow event.

10. The report concludes:

“The work of the last six months has put the Council and the Cardiff area in a much stronger position to deal with a snow event such as experienced last winter, and indeed, any other similar event, such as flooding or high winds.

However, the task of preparation and maintaining readiness is never complete. There is always an element of work-in-progress and this is particularly the case at the present time, as actions are followed through and the necessary work to ensure all the activity is joined up and co- ordinated is put in place.

There is also the need to test procedures and arrangements, recognising there is a limit to rehearsal without the realism of snow. It is especially important to register that because snow events tend not to be frequent in Cardiff, there is a challenge in keeping people up-to-date, through the inevitable turnover of staff.

Strong community engagement and support to complement the Council’s efforts is a vital part of the Action Plan. Maintaining this over a period of time is always never easy and especially so when snow events are not frequent, and so this needs to be an ongoing element of the resilience work.

Page 3 of 9

This all leads to my overall judgement: Cardiff’s resilience to deal with a future snow event has been substantially enhanced since the winter of 2010/11, but the work and training will need to continue. A vital element of this work will be with the wider community, which has a key role to play in the overall resilience of the area.”

Issue of Winter Maintenance Implementation Plan to Key Stakeholders

11. On 14 July 2011, the Executive approved that the draft revised Winter Maintenance Implementation Plan be issued to all key stakeholders and specifically major employers and representative bodies of Traders in Cardiff, farmers, as well as the Emergency Services, Cardiff Bus and Arriva Trains for comment. Comments were also invited from the Community Council’s, Members, and Chief Officers. As of 5 September 2011, a total of 22 responses from Members and external stakeholders had been received. A summary of the responses together with the corresponding intended actions is enclosed in Appendix 4.

Snow Kits for Schools

12. As stated in the report approved by the Executive on 14 July 2011, the design and ‘costing’ of a ‘snow kit’ for schools has been devised. This ‘kit’ comprises two grit bins, and a pedestrian gritting machine at a total cost of approximately £1600, options are also available for the delivery of salt ahead of the season. The City Services Chief Officer arranged for this information to be provided to the Schools Head Teachers and requested that they confirm purchase requests for the snow kit by 22 July 2011 to allow these to be ordered in good time before the winter period. As of 5 September 2011, only 9 requests for the whole of part of the ‘snow kit’ had been received. Therefore, the Chief Officer arranged for a ‘reminder’ to be sent to the Head Teachers regarding this opportunity and to work closely with schools liaison officers to encourage further resilience in schools.

13. In addition to action plan response, the ‘Snow Kit was also offered for sale to Community Councils, Community Groups, and organisations including the emergency services (e.g. fire stations, doctors’ surgeries) residential homes and to all Council buildings. This was on the basis that the kits would be paid for by the organisations and the Council will procure and deliver to the customer to offer best value and to assist with increasing overall resilience and increasing the ability of communities to self help with high risk areas and vulnerable people. At the time of preparing this report, no requests for the whole of part of the ‘snow kit’ had been received from these stakeholders.

Updating Winter Maintenance Policy and Winter Maintenance Implementation Plan

14. A key item identified in the Action Plan was the undertaking of a review of the Council’s Winter Maintenance Policy. Updated draft versions of both the Winter Maintenance Policy, which forms part of the Council’s Highway Policy, and the Winter Maintenance Implementation Plan, which

Page 4 of 9

provides details of the Councils winter maintenance operations, were appended to the report considered by the Executive on 14 July 2011. Both these documents have since been reviewed and updated, with the comments from key stakeholders being taken into account where appropriate together with the recommendations made by Mr Brian Smith following his recent review. The updated Winter Maintenance Policy and also Winter Maintenance Implementation Plan are attached as Appendices 5 and 6 respectively.

15. It is confirmed that in response to the comments of both the Environmental Scrutiny Committee and Mr Brian Smith, the ‘Recovery Plan’ included within the Winter Maintenance Implementation Plan has been reviewed and redrafted, with the tables showing estimated recovery times being replaced by an explanatory narrative.

16. It should be noted that the list of salt bins identified within the Winter Maintenance Implementation Plan has not been updated. The additional salt bins requested are being assessed and the list of salt bins will be updated when this process is completed. It is also confirmed that this list will continue to be updated as and when new bin requests are assessed to satisfy the stated criteria.

The Council’s Winter Maintenance Equipment

17. The Council’s Central Transport Unit has investigated options for the provision of adaptive tools for fitting to the Council’s existing fleet to increase scope and capacity for winter maintenance. In the light of this review, it is recommended that the following actions be implemented to improve the Council’s resilience during snow events:

o The fitting of snow tyres to some Transit vehicles used by Cleansing and Parks at the start of each winter to facilitate the deployment of Operatives in snow conditions: o The purchase of 2 ploughs for Parks Services Tractors; o The purchase of 3 ploughs for deployment of Highways 26 tonne vehicles; o The purchase of 2 ‘drop in’ gritters for Highways 26 tonne vehicles; o The purchase of a plough and ‘drop in’ gritter for Ford Ranger 4 X 4 which could be used in side roads on a priority basis in a future snow event. o Consumables; snow grips for boots, snow shovels and extra winter personal protective equipment etc.

18. The associated identified revenue cost impacts are estimated to be at £75,000 and known capital costs to deliver the above items are estimated and £70,000. These costs for 2011/12 would be met from existing revenue and grant budgets.

Page 5 of 9

Communication

19. A Communication Plan which outlines the communications proposed for both the pre-winter season and also during a snow event should it arise was attached to the report approved by the Executive on 14 July 2011 and is attached to this report at Appendix 7.

20. With respect to the pre-season activities, specific pages have been developed for the Council’s website to cover a range of weather scenarios. It is intended that these will be made live during October 2011. The content of the website will reflect the off line communications and media activity to warn and inform Cardiff citizens at the start of the winter maintenance season.

21. A double page pull-out for inclusion in the November edition of Capital Times has also been designed. This information provided includes details of the snow plan, useful numbers and advice on what to do in the event of heavy snow, as well as the Governments ‘Snow Code’ which provides advice regarding the clearance of snow and ice from pavements. In particular, this Code highlights that there is no law stopping members of the public from clearing snow and ice from the pavement outside their property or from public spaces. It highlights that people who do this are very unlikely to be sued or held legally responsible for any injuries on the path if the clearance has been done in accordance the advice therein provided. This is an important message as there has been a widely held belief that people who have had cleared snow etc from a path could be sued if an accident subsequently occurs at that location. The paper will start to be delivered on November 14 2011 and supporting communications, including press releases and web pages, will also go live during this week to highlight that the advisory information is already available. Information will be reissued as the season progresses and more specifically if and when there are weather warnings of snow.

22. In addition, during October, Members will be provided with a ward map showing salting routes, salt bin locations, and an alphabetic listing of pre salted routes. This information will also be issued to Connect2Cardiff and will be included on the Council’s website in October 2011 as part of the various weather scenarios’ information referred to in paragraph 18 above.

Provision of Salt Barn

23. In order to improve the Council’s resilience during a future snow event, a contract to build a salt barn has been let. The salt barn, which will hold 4750 tonne of salt, will be completed to allow the delivery of salt in November 2011. At the start of the forthcoming winter maintenance season, including the salt stored in the new barn and a reserve of 2600 tonne stored at Lamby Way, the Council will have approximately 7000 tonne of salt available. This is approximately twice the amount of salt that it used during the previous winter period and is greater that the Welsh Local Government Association recommendation which is 1.5

Page 6 of 9

times the average annual amount of salt used over the last six years (2680 tonne for Cardiff Council).

Annual Review of Winter Maintenance Policy and Winter Maintenance Implementation Plan

24. It is confirmed that both the Winter Maintenance Policy and Winter Maintenance Implementation Plan will be reviewed on an annual basis with updated versions being submitted to the Executive prior to the commencement of each winter season if significant changes to the documents are proposed.

Reasons for Recommendations

25. Progressing the implementation of the Winter Maintenance Action Plan will improve the Council’s resilience for future snow events. To seek approval of the draft revised Winter Maintenance Policy and Implementation Plan to improve the Council’s resilience in respect of future snow events.

Legal Implications

26. The Council has a duty to remove any obstructions from a highway due to an accumulation of snow or from the falling down of banks on the side of the highway, or from any other cause, pursuant to section 150 of the Highways Act 1980. In particular the Council has a duty to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, that safe passage along a highway is not endangered by snow or ice pursuant to section 41 of the Highways Act.

27. It should be noted that the Council has an overarching duty to manage their road network, so far as may be reasonably practicable, having regard to their other obligations, policies and objectives, which amongst other things ensures that the Council secures the expeditious movement of traffic on road networks pursuant to section 16 of the Traffic Management Act 2004.

28. The first recommendation requests the Executive to note the progress on the implementation of the Winter Maintenance Action Plan. The Plan indicates that procurement arrangements may be put in place for various tools and equipment and purchase of vehicle parts. Specific legal advice should be sought upon the progress of individual procurements and the relevant decision made with respect to the total value of each procurement. Any procurement must be within the Budgetary and Policy Framework.

29. The second recommendation requests the Executive to approve the Winter Maintenance Policy and Winter Maintenance Implementation Plan. There are no direct legal implications arising from any such approval that the Executive may give, however it should be noted that once a Policy and Plan are in place they must be fully adhered to and as such should be realistic in their proposals. The decision maker must be satisfied that the budget is available and is committed to these proposals

Page 7 of 9

and any decision must be within the policy and budgetary framework and any Policy must comply with the Equalities Act 2010. An Equality Impact Assessment should be carried out on the draft Policy the results of which should be made available to the decision maker.

Financial Implications

30. The Salt Barn is an Invest to Save scheme at an estimated capital cost of £327,000 which will be funded by a combination of revenue (£48,000) and pay back of (£279,000) to be repaid over 10 years. The repayments are planned to be made over a 10 year period whilst the facility has an expected useful life of at least 20 years. Repayments will commence in 2012/13, therefore the revenue budget of £48,000 will be used in 2011/12 as Direct Revenue Financing (DRF) to reduce the amount of interest.

31. The report outlines in Para 17 and 18 cost options in respect of adapted vehicles for the winter. These costs and any additional costs incurred as a result of the Policy or Action Plan will need to be found within the relevant existing budgetary allocation.

32. In the event of a school purchasing a snow kit or part of, this will be funded from that particular schools delegated budget.

Human Resource Implications

33. Discussions have taken place with management from across the Council regarding the deployment of staff to specific tasks during an identified snow event. Those discussions will continue with staff and supervisors so that everyone is aware of their role in such an event. Any necessary training will also take place. Trade Unions have been consulted on the plans and are happy with the approach being taken thus far.

RECOMMENDATIONS

The Executive is recommended to:

(1) Note progress on the implementation of the Winter Maintenance Action Plan (Appendix 1), the external advisors report (Appendix 3) and consultee comments received to date (Appendix 2 and Appendix 4).

(2) Approve the updated Winter Maintenance Policy and Winter Maintenance Implementation Plan (Appendices 5 & 6)

Councillor Simon Wakefield Chairperson Of Environmental Scrutiny Committee Scrutiny Services Cy5 County Hall

Dear Simon

Scrutiny - Environmental Scrutiny Committee - 19 July 2011 - City Services Business Plan / Winter Maintenance

Thank you for inviting officers and I to attend the Committee Meeting on Tuesday 19 July 2011, to consider the “City Services Business Plan 2011-12” and receive an update on Winter Maintenance. Your positive comments and recognition of the excellent job in developing the Winter Maintenance Policy is most welcome. Your very detailed and thorough review of the City Services Business Plan 2011- 12 is most helpful, the few grammatical and formatting errors will be corrected in the final document.

Your committees request to receive an update on the overall position of the Highway Asset Management Plan at a future meeting is an excellent suggestion, which will support the development of this very vital and important Plan. I am sure that officers will be able to allocate a date within the committees future work schedule.

On the Winter Maintenance update your very positive comments are appreciated, in particular the development of a recovery plan after a snow event but recognising the difficulties of determining exact recovery times due to the unpredictability of weather will be taken into account in this Policy.

I trust this information is of assistance.

Yours sincerely

Appendix 3

Review of Updated Winter Maintenance Plan and Associated Action Plan

Introduction

This review was requested by the chief officer as a follow up to the Independent Report which was commissioned after the snow event in December 2010, leading to the resulting Action Plan and the subsequent work. A progress report was submitted to the Executive Business Meeting in July.

As the person who undertook the Independent Inquiry, I was invited back to assess progress and provide a view on Cardiff’s resilience as it approaches winter 2011/12. The specific brief was:

1) Review the updated Winter Maintenance Policy and Implementation Plan 2) Review the response and progress against each of the items identified in the Action Plan 3) Provide a report to summarise my independent view on Cardiff’s current resilience for winter weather compared to last year

Approach and Structure of Report

The work was undertaken in the latter part of August 2011. It comprised a review of the report and supporting appendices submitted to the Executive Business Meeting, and a number of meetings and telephone conversations with key officers to consider issues from the paperwork and to answer questions/test progress. My findings and conclusions were shared in these meetings and this report brings these together.

The report commences with an overview of progress, and first deals with those areas of the Action Plan where no issues have been identified. It then considers some specific points, where further consideration should be given, before addressing the question of resilience. Findings of the Review

A lot of work has been undertaken over the last six months, and this is reflected in the progress made with the Action Plan. A number of the areas have been (or will be) successfully achieved:

* Immediate Action – all progressed and no issues * Resilience Planning, engagement with community and voluntary sectors – this has started and will need to be followed through, ensuring these sectors do engage, and then maintained * Develop Gold Command arrangements – done and training undertaken and continuing * GPS for Fleet – the basic GPS system is being installed in September and further consideration is being given to the business case for a more comprehensive route and salt usage system * Communications – all the agreed actions for the coming winter being taken forward (although some later comments around communications). Progress has also been made in the other areas, but there are some points requiring further work/attention.

Page 1 of 4 Review Winter Maintenance Policy

The comments here relate to the three pages which precede the Implementation Plan and specifically relate to the Council’s Policy Document. It is worth noting that this is not about the way the Council chooses to present its policies, but rather their content, and also that these pages have not been part of the current consultation.

* The policy for pre-salting carriageways needs more supporting detail, particularly the criteria. The issue of explicit criteria supporting the decisions about the network to be treated (the 43%) was an important point in the January Inquiry and the Council needs to address it if is to avoid lots of questions and challenges if it snows this winter

* There is some (relatively minor) inconsistency between the updated Implementation Plan (to which some small improvements have been suggested) and this policy section

* The salt section is out of date, because the salt barn will be operational by the winter, and significant additional stock is being held, so these points need to be reflected; indeed it no longer seems to be appropriate to have a policy focussed on possible shortages

* Looking at this and the Implementation Plan together, I believe that it would be helpful if this “front end” is presented in an “easier-to-understand” style and consideration might also be given to the overall structure of this and the Implementation Plan. However, this is not a critical activity that needs to be undertaken before the forthcoming winter period.

The Recovery Plan – section 10 of the Implementation Plan

The detail in this section, and particularly the tables setting out the approximate time periods to return roads to serviceable condition in different snow scenarios is in appropriate. It is a complex area, with too many variables to present the issue of recovery in this way.

I know of no other Council documenting the recovery challenge like this, and indeed, have tested this approach with a number of senior officers in English authorities and all have expressed surprise and concern.

The Action Plan certainly indicated “target timescales for recovery” with the Snow Plan, although this was not a specific recommendation in my report. However, I had fed back the question raised by a number of the people I met outside the Council “what is it reasonable to expect with recovery?” This was a question asked in particular of footways, especially in the district shopping centres, but it was largely to do with the Council’s efforts to deploy additional resources and so speed the return to normality. My suggestion is that this section should be drafted in a different way. The emphasis should be restoring the principal roads and remainder of the treated network (and the main footways/shopping areas, which are not mentioned) to a serviceable condition as soon as possible. It should highlight the Council’s plans to bring in supplementary resources to achieve that objective.

Page 2 of 4

It is right to highlight the priority of principal roads, then the remainder of the network and the key footways. I would do this using narrative, rather than a matrix, since this will also provide the opportunity to highlight that actual progress will depend on variables such as the depth and type of snow, continuing weather conditions and especially temperature. Within this, the Council could certainly indicate the normal expectations of dealing with all principal roads within 24 hours, but indicate that in a situation like last winter with extreme temperatures, it might take up to 3 days to clear all the treated network. Such a statement would then help to explain why attention would then turn to the remainder of the network.

Recovery Planning – additional resources

The need in a snow event for additional resources, both equipment and personnel, was an important recommendation in the original report and a key element of the Action Plan. Good progress has been made on the necessary arrangements to secure this resource, but this leads to a further challenge: if the resources need to be activated because of a snow event, have outline plans been drawn up to ensure their immediate and effective deployment?

This work has already commenced and will need to be completed ahead of the winter season, at least in outline. One of the practical issues is that every event is different, and throws up new challenges. This means that plans can only be embryonic, but it is vital that arrangements are in place so that speedy and effective decisions can be made.

One specific linked to this, is vehicle flexibility, both the fitting of equipment to support a snow event, and ensuring they remain operational and able to fulfil their intended role. This issue is currently with CTS and now needs to be progressed, as planned, with the Winter Maintenance team, to ensure this important element of recovery planning is in place.

Communications

All the elements identified in the Action Plan have been progressed or are in hand. The challenge, as accepted by the officers I spoke with, is the unpredictable content, as reflected by the situation and what needs to be communicated. It is not easy to rehearse these matters in advance, but the following aspects were identified where further consideration would be worthwhile:

* the capacity of key individuals in the winter maintenance team to manage the event and channel information to the communications team, especially if an event extends beyond 24 hours * linked to the above, arrangements to “protect” the core team from direct enquiries, by using the agreed channels * detailed discussions between the winter maintenance team and communications to “rehearse” actions and procedures

It was also noted that, to date, the take-up of “snow kits” by schools and communities has been disappointing, and that it would be worth giving this some publicity and emphasising the importance of self-help as part of wider resilience.

Page 3 of 4

A different area where some publicity would be worthwhile is salt bins. As more bins have been provided, and the agreed actions undertaken, guidance could usefully be provided about the “do’s and don’ts” of salt bins, and particularly, how much salt should be spread, so as to avoid the rapid emptying of bins.

Overview of Resilience

The work of the last six months has put the Council and the Cardiff area in a much stronger position to deal with a snow event such as experienced last winter, and indeed, any other similar event, such as flooding or high winds.

HIGHWAYS POLICY EXTRACT: WINTER MAINTENANCE REVIEW 2011/12

3.2.8 Winter Maintenance – Carriageway Salting Relevant Legislation

The Council has a duty to remove any obstructions from a highway due to an accumulation of snow or from the falling down of banks on the side of the highway, or from any other cause, pursuant to section 150 of the Highways Act 1980. In particular the Council has a duty to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, that safe passage along a highway is not endangered by snow or ice pursuant to section 41 of the Highways Act.

The Council also has an overarching duty to manage its road network, so far as may be reasonably practicable, having regard to its other obligations, policies and objectives, which amongst other things ensures that the Council secures the expeditious movement of traffic on road networks pursuant to section 16 of the Traffic Management Act 2004.

Council Policy

Using available resources, the Council’s aim is to prevent the formation of ice where possible, and where the prevention of ice is impractical, the removal of ice in the shortest possible time.

During forecast widespread freezing conditions, the Council will pre-salt a prescribed network of carriageways in order to fulfil its obligations under Section 150 of the 1980 Highways Act. Priority is given to the Principal Roads, B Classification Roads, some C Classification Roads, and other non classified roads [namely Bus Routes]. The main objective is to achieve an application of salt at a predetermined spread rate, dependant on weather conditions, and prior to the formation of frost/ice or the deposition of snow. The pre-salting network closely follows but is not limited to, nor indeed covers in its entirety, the Cardiff City Public Transport Bus Route Network. Cycle routes are treated only where they form part of the carriageway which is itself part of a designated salting route.

The prescribed network of carriageways referred to above is approximately 43% of the adopted highway. In situations where the forecast temperatures do not require the 43% of the adopted highway to be pre-treated, only the Principal Roads, higher level roads and known wet areas will be treated. This corresponds to approximately 27% of the adopted highway network.

The Council aims to restore all carriageways within the County to normal conditions on a priority basis to ensure that they can be used in reasonable safety.

Operational Criteria

The salting of prescribed network of carriageways is achieved through the implementation of 10 pre-defined salting routes. These routes are reviewed annually, taking into account the experiences gained during the previous winter period and also any changes in use of the highways, for example, changes in core bus routes.

An alphabetical list of pre-salted roads is included in the Council’s Winter Implementation Plan and also Training Manual. Winter Maintenance Operations are undertaken in

Page 1 of 7

accordance with these manuals.

Cardiff’s winter maintenance service operates from 1st October to 30 th April with standby arrangements in place from the Saturday nearest to the 1 st November until the Saturday nearest to the 31 st March (which can be extended if weather conditions warrant). A series of ice prediction outstations are located throughout the County. Data received from these outstations is used in conjunction with site specific forecasts to enable a decision to be made on whether or not to pre-salt any or all of the pre-defined routes on the highway network. A Duty Officer is available 24 hours a day and may interrogate current data from the outstations and receive updated weather forecasts in order to amend a decision on salting at any time.

A fleet of 12 gritters is available for pre-salting when conditions dictate, comprising 10 front line vehicles and 2 stand-by vehicles for use in the case of breakdowns etc. These vehicles can be fitted with snow ploughs when required.

Page 2 of 7

3.2.8.1 Provision of Salt Containers

Council Policy

The Council will provide salt containers where a need has been identified on routes that are not covered by the pre-salting programme. These salt containers are provided for use by the emergency services and members of the public.

Operational Criteria

There are currently over 400 salt containers located across across Cardiff, the locations of which are identified in the Winter Service Implementation Plan.

Each container is checked and refilled prior to the start of the winter season. Any that are found to be damaged are replaced as necessary. Salt containers may be removed following repeated reports of damage or vandalism. After periods of prolonged frost or snow, or on request, containers are inspected and refilled as required.

It is important to note that the Council cannot service all requests for the provision of salt containers. Upon the receipt of a request for a salt container, the requested location will be subject to an assessment in accordance with agreed criteria. To assist with this process, a Salt Bin Assessment Form has been developed – this is included within the Winter Maintenance Implementation Plan.

3.2.9 Winter Maintenance – Footway Salting

Relevant Legislation

Council Policy

The Council aims to treat a limited network of footways to minimise risk based on the footway hierarchy specified in the Council’s Winter Maintenance Imlementation Plan and Training Manual. Operational Criteria

The Council aims to treat a limited network of footways to minimise risk based on the footway hierarchy detailed below. This hierarchy has been developed in accordance with the Code of Practice for Maintenance Management published by the Institute of Highways & Transportation. Footway classification will be as follows: Category 1a, 1 and 2, 3 & 4 and these will be salted throughout the winter season using the following criteria (excluding during a snow emergency):-

Category 1a (Prestige Zones); High footfall shared surfaces:

All footways will be pre-treated when local surface temperatures are forecast to fall below zero.

Category 1 (Primary Routes); Areas where footfall is 1000 movements/hr (± 10%) established by a survey of footfall within the city centre during 2003:

Footways will be treated when local surface temperatures are forecast to remain below freezing at midday the following day.

Category 2 (Secondary Routes); other footways within the footfall study in 2003 will be deemed to be Category 2 footways, except the arcades, which are not adopted highway. Additional feeder footways including routes from areas of on-street parking and larger car parks near the city centre, local shopping districts containing 100 retail units and footways that provide access to schools with in excess of 1000 pupils (± 10%):

Page 4 of 7

Footways will be treated when surface temperatures are forecast to remain below freezing for 3 consecutive days.

Category 3 (Links); these are local access footways that link through urban areas, busy rural footways, and those that access all other schools:

No salting treatment to be undertaken.

Category 4 (Local Access); footways associated with low usage, short estate roads to the main routes and cul-de-sacs:

No salting treatment to be undertaken.

A series of ice prediction outstations are located throughout the County. Data received from these outstations is used in conjunction with site specific forecasts to enable a decision to be made on whether or not to pre or post treat the relevant sections of the footway network. A Duty Officer is available 24 hours a day and may interrogate current data from the outstations and receive updated weather forecasts in order to amend a decision on salting at any time.

White salt will be spread by specialist vehicles on prestige walking zones.

The Council will use available resources to discharge its obligations under Section 150 of the 1980 Highways Act. The snow clearance operations will be undertaken in accordance with the Council’s Winter Service Implementation Plan and Training Manual as far as the resources available for undertaking this work permit.

Operational Criteria

Carriageway snow clearance will be undertaken based on the following priorities:

1. The Principal road network and routes necessary to ensure that vital services are maintained. This will reduce the salted network to between 12% (Principal Roads) & approximately 20% dependant on clarification of core Public Transport Bus Routes; 2. The remaining pre-defined salting network 3. Non – predefined routes – on a needs basis only when pre-defined routes are clear.

Manual footway snow clearance is prioritised in accordance with the footway salting operational criteria (see Policy Ref: 3.2.9) and will be undertaken by the Council’s in- house workforce and also additional resources through existing framework contractors as required.

3.2.10.2 Winter Maintenance – Snow Clearance Resilience

Relevant Legislation

Council Policy

In accordance with guidance provided by the Welsh Local Government Association, at the start of the winter maintenance season, the Council aims to have a quantity of salt available of 1.5 times the average amount of salt it has used per year over the previous 6 years.

At the start of November 2011, the Council will have a salt storage barn of minimum capacity 4750 tonne. This is 1.7 times the average amount of salt it has used per year over the previous 6 years.

Operational Criteria

Salt will be ordered so that the Salt Barn is full at the commencement of each winter season.

1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 The Council has a duty to remove any obstructions from a highway due to an accumulation of snow or from the falling down of banks on the side of the highway, or from any other cause, pursuant to section 150 of the Highways Act 1980. In particular the Council has a duty to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, that safe passage along a highway is not endangered by snow or ice pursuant to section 41 of the Highways Act.

1.2 The Council also has an overarching duty to manage its road network, so far as may be reasonably practicable, having regard to its other obligations, policies and objectives, which amongst other things ensures that the Council secures the expeditious movement of traffic on road networks pursuant to section 16 of the Traffic Management Act 2004.

1.3 Forecasts for Cardiff’s winter service run from 1 st October to 30 th April with standby arrangements in place from the nearest Saturday to the 1st November until the nearest Saturday to the 31 st March (which can be extended if weather conditions warrant). A series of ice prediction outstations are located throughout the County. Data received from these outstations is used in conjunction with site specific forecasts to enable a decision to be made on whether or not to pre or post treat the relevant sections of the carriageway and footway network. A Duty Officer is available 24 hours a day and may interrogate current data from the outstations and receive updated weather forecasts in order to amend a decision on salting at any time.

1.4 The Council’s available resources will be managed to achieve the prevention of the formation of ice where possible and the removal of ice in the shortest possible time where prevention is impractical. The Council will pre-salt a prescribed network of carriageways in order to fulfil its obligations under Section 150 of the Highways Act 1980. Priority is given to the Principal Roads, B Classification Roads, some C Classification Roads, and other non classified roads [namely Bus Routes]. The main objective is to achieve an application of salt at a predetermined spread rate, dependant on weather conditions, and prior to the formation of frost/ice or the deposition of snow. The pre-salting network closely follows but is not limited to, nor indeed covers in its entirety, the Cardiff City Public Transport Bus Route Network. Cycle routes are treated only where they form part of the carriageway which is itself part of a designated salting route.

1. 5 The Council also aims to treat a limited network of footways to minimise risk based on the footway hierarchy specified in 3.CS.HO.10.06. This hierarchy has been developed in accordance with the Code of Practice for Maintenance Management published by the Institute of Highways & Transportation. Footway classification will be as follows: Category 1a, 1 and 2, 3 & 4 and these will be salted throughout the winter season using the following criteria (excluding during a snow emergency):-

1.5.1 Category 1a (Prestige Zones); High footfall shared surfaces:

All footways will be pre-treated when local surface temperatures are forecast to fall below zero.

1.5.2 Category 1 (Primary Routes); Areas where footfall is 1000 movements/hr (± 10%) established by a survey of footfall within the city centre during 2003:

Footways will be treated when local surface temperatures are forecast to remain below freezing at midday the following day.

1.5.3 Category 2 (Secondary Routes); other footways within the footfall study in 2003 will be deemed to be Category 2 footways, except the arcades, which are not adopted highway. Additional feeder footways including routes from areas of on-street parking and larger car parks near the city centre, local shopping districts containing 100 retail units and footways that provide access to schools with in excess of 1000 pupils (± 10%):

Footways will be treated when surface temperatures are forecast to remain below freezing for 3 consecutive days.

1.5.4 Category 3 (Links); these are local access footways that link through urban areas, busy rural footways, and those that access all other schools:

No salting treatment to be undertaken.

1.5.5 Category 4 (Local Access); footways associated with low usage, short estate roads to the main routes and cul-de-sacs:

No salting treatment to be undertaken.

1.6 In the case of snow, the Council aims to restore all carriageways within the County to normal conditions on a priority basis to ensure that they can be used in reasonable safety. During extended snowfall conditions whereby significant accumulations of snow are present, an emergency situation may be declared (see section 4 of this document). As a result of this Principal Routes and core bus routes throughout the City will be prioritised. This may then include the use of ploughs and/or snow blowers. Should snow conditions persist, once the Principal Routes and core bus routes are clear, the service will then be extended to treat the non-principal defined pre-salting routes and subsequently other areas of adopted highway. Pedestrian routes will be treated manually using the prioritised hierarchy referred to above. Category 3 and 4 footways will only be treated once all other footways are clear.

1.7 The Council will provide salt containers where a need has been identified on routes that are not covered by the pre-salting programme. These salt containers are provided for use by the emergency services and members of

the public. There are currently over 400 salt containers across the county, the locations of which are identified in Section 8 of this document. Each container is checked and refilled prior to the start of the winter season. Any that are found to be damaged are replaced as necessary. Salt containers may be removed following repeated reports of damage or vandalism. After periods of prolonged frost or snow, or on request, containers are inspected and refilled as required. This refilling would be undertaken by mechanical means wherever possible. It is important to note that the Council cannot service all requests for the provision of salt containers. Upon the receipt of a request for a salt container, the requested location will be subject to an assessment in accordance with agreed criteria. To assist with this process, a Salt Bin Assessment Form has been developed – this is included section 11 of this document. The form identifies the parameters used when siting a new container and indicates the score which must be achieved before a container can be located. This form will be completed when each proposed new location is inspected.

1.8 Prior to the commencement of the winter season, the Council’s Salt Barn located at the Brindley Depot (scheduled for completion October 2011) will be filled with salt. The Salt Barn has a minimum capacity of 4750 tonne. As part of an all Wales review of salt stock holdings it is proposed that all Unitary Authorities will hold 150% of their average salt usage over the last 6 years at the start of each winter maintenance period. Over the six year period 2005/6 to 2010/11, the average annual salt usage by Cardiff Council was 2680 tonne. The Salt Barn will hold 177% of Cardiff’s annual usage over this six year period and hence exceeds the 150% proposal. At the start of the 2011/12 winter maintenance season, including the salt stored in the new barn and a reserve of 2600 tonne stored at Lamby Way, the Council will have approximately 7000 tonne of salt available.

1.9 This document is intended primarily to provide more detailed information on the winter maintenance element of the Council’s Highway Maintenance Policy Document and give an overview of the service provided during the winter period. Copies are distributed to other organisations and authorities to ensure that they are aware of the Council's plans and act, where possible, to complement any operations carried out by Cardiff Council in winter conditions.

2.0 All staff and operatives engaged on winter service and snow emergencies on the Welsh Government roads will be required to comply with 'Winter Maintenance of Motorway and Trunk Roads' produced by the Welsh Government.

2. ROLE OF CITY SERVICES IN SNOW EMERGENCIES

2.1 The primary role of City Services is:

2.1.1 To react immediately to adverse weather conditions that affect any highways within the Council area and to restore such highways to normality as quickly as possible.

2.1.2 To take all actions necessary at any time to minimise the effect of major snowfall on all communities within the County.

2.2 Detailed responsibilities of the Service Area are as follows:-

2.2.1 Snow clearance on Principal Roads, B Classification Roads, some C Classification Roads, and other non classified roads [namely Bus Routes];

2.2.2 To immediately inform the Emergency Management Officer that a Snow Emergency has been declared by City Services;

2.2.3 To ensure that the Chief Executive is informed of the onset of an emergency, and to keep him aware of the latest situation throughout such emergencies;

2.2.4 Providing resources of labour, plant and materials and obtaining any additional necessary help required from other service areas and outside sources;

2.2.5 Providing a liaison officer to attend the designated Silver Control Centre;

2.2.6 Gathering information concerning weather conditions and forecasts;

2.2.7 Coning and sign placement on roads where necessary (road closures etc);

2.2.8 Liaising with Police, Emergency Management Unit, and Media where necessary, regarding road conditions;

2.2.9 Liaising with adjacent Local Authorities to ensure consistency of approach;

2.2.10 Co-ordinating transport facilities for key personnel involved in the winter service, and

2.2.11 To ensure the two way movement of information between City Services and other service areas of the Council and with external organisations.

2.3 Organisation of Work

2.3.1 The primary aim of the Brindley Road Control Centre, with the Operational Manager Highway Maintenance in charge of operations, is to ensure as far as reasonably practicable the Principal Roads, B Classification Roads, some C Classification Roads, and other non classified roads [namely Bus Routes] remain open at all times during a snow emergency. Also, where any such highways become blocked, to clear them in the shortest possible time and thus minimise the effect on the public.

2.3.2 The Council’s dedicated resources of gritters, snow ploughs, snow blowers and lorries will be available to the Operational Manager Highway Maintenance and will operate from the Brindley Road depot in times of a snow emergency. Sufficient drivers, labourers, and staff should be based at the above centre to achieve the primary aim.

2.3.3 Following the achievement of the primary aim, that is, the roads listed in 2.3.1 have free traffic movement and can be salted by normal shifts, appropriate attention will be given to dealing with complaints received from members of the public in relation to roads not previously treated. Direction of such assistance will be the responsibility of the Operational Manager Highway Maintenance in consultation with the Chief Officer, City Services.

2.3.4 Normally, only a small proportion of the County Highways workforce is committed to the above tasks. Therefore, those resources not allocated to the primary role (2.1 and 2.2) will be made available from the outset of any snow emergency for the clearance of snow from shopping and pedestrianised areas, and footways outside schools, hospitals and other busy areas. The priority list of streets is identified in Section 6 of this document.

2.3.5 The best possible use will be made of any spare resource to assist in emergencies as it will be unlikely that much normal maintenance activity will be possible in times of snow.

2.3.6 The Winter Service Operations Manual is deliberately made simple as experience has proved on previous occasions that no two emergencies are alike, and that operational direction needs to be flexible at all times to meet changing problems. For that reason no detailed method of operation is laid down for the Brindley Road Control Centre.

2.3.7 The Operational Manager, Highway Maintenance has prepared a plan to ensure that the efficient reconnaissance of the highway network, collation of information on the state of roads and details of individual emergencies is carried out and that such information is fed on a regular basis to the Control Centre.

2.3.8 Traffic Calming Schemes

A list of streets containing road humps and road narrowings can be found in Section 9 of this document. This is reviewed and updated on an annual basis.

2.4 Liaison with The South Wales Trunk Road Agency (SWTRA) & Emergency Services

2.4.1 The Operational Manager Highway Maintenance will ensure that liaison is maintained with SWTRA and the Emergency Services on operational matters through himself, the Contractors at the designated centres and other Highway Maintenance Staff.

2.4.2 The Principal Engineer (Street Operations Team 2) (or Deputy) will be responsible for the early morning state of roads report covering the motorway and trunk road network which is required before 10 am daily by SWTRA during the period of any snow emergency and for ensuring a good flow of information concerning the state of roads and progress to the Control Centre.

Maximum use should be made of the knowledge of all situations affecting the County highway network possessed by the South Wales Police, South Wales Traffic Control Centre (Coryton) both in Cardiff and on the Motorway network and it is important that the Emergency Services are given all the latest information on blocked or dangerous roads, and progress on snow clearing operations.

2.4.3 Where urgent requests for road clearing are received from Critical Infrastructure owners who provide essential life preserving services to the public, where the risk or actual loss of services would cause widespread or prolonged disruption, the requests will be considered in the prioritisation of road clearing services in conjunction with the Critical Infrastructure requirements.

2.5 Relations with Media and Public

2.5.1 In the early stages of a snow emergency, general enquiries from the media and public will be channelled through the Council’s Press Officer and any answers required will be provided. Once a snow emergency has been declared a daily bulletin, as a minimum, will be provided to the Council’s Press Officer for dissemination to local media contacts and the public via the council’s internet and social networking sites.

2.5.2 Highway Maintenance will provide the most up-to-date information that they are able to gather to the Chief Officer, City Services as and when requested.

2.5.3 Any complaints, general enquiries, and requests for information of a routine nature will be dealt with at the Brindley Road Depot.

3. PRE-SALTING SERVICE

3.1 This Section 3 contains information on roads to be salted routinely as a precautionary measure.

3.2 The success of the operational plan for pre-salting and snow emergencies depends upon:

i. training and expertise of staff and operatives; Operatives from Highway Maintenance, Waste Management and Housing have been trained to City and Guilds 1659 (winter maintenance operations) ii. best possible advance information regarding adverse weather conditions; Meteogroup engaged under an All Wales Winter Service contract to provide a 24 hour forecast specific to the Cardiff area during the winter period [Oct 1 st - April; 30 th }. iii. effective and well maintained vehicles and plant; All vehicles maintained by in-house service provision [Central Transport Service (CTS)] iv. good communications and liaison with other organisations; daily e-mail to all adjoining Local Authorities and Emergency Services on proposed presalting action and v. COMMITMENT by all involved vi. Actioning of relevant and related Business Continuity Plans.

3.3 All precautionary pre-salting for the designated network of Principal Roads, B Classification Roads, some C Classification Roads, and other non classified roads [namely Bus Routes] within Cardiff will be undertaken and controlled from Brindley Road Highway Maintenance Depot.

3.4 Any enquiries regarding winter service should be made in the first instance to Cardiff County Council Highway Maintenance during office hours on Cardiff 029 20785200 and outside normal working hours via the Out of Hours Telephone Answering Service (TAS) on Cardiff 029 20620223.

3.5 During the winter period, management of the pre-salting decision-making function is the responsibility of Highway Maintenance. A Highway Maintenance Winter Service Duty Officer will be on Rota out of Normal Working Hours and at weekends.

4. SNOW EMERGENCY SERVICE

4.1 Sections 3 and 6 of this document contain information relating to roads and footways to be salted during a snow/freezing rain event whereby additional treatment is required but conditions have not yet deteriorated to a declared Snow Emergency.

4.2 Should a Snow Emergency be declared, a detailed route description of the “Fallback Contingency” will be held at the Brindley Road and provided to the designated Silver Control Centre.

4.3 With the onset of worsening weather as snow approaches activity by the pre-salting teams who are on duty will normally increase. Frequency of salting will often increase if the above conditions are accompanied by ice on carriageways, further teams may be called out, snow ploughs fitted, and Operational Manager Highway Maintenance will be informed. Activity to this level will happen automatically.

4.4 When snow conditions likely to create problems are imminent the Operational Manager Highway Maintenance, or in his absence the Principal Engineer (Street Operations, Team 2) will inform the Operational Manager, City Services and Chief Officer of any likely danger and will continue to monitor the situation and keep the Chief Officer at County Hall fully informed at all times.

4.5 Should conditions deteriorate to such an extent that hazardous road conditions are causing potential danger to road users, then the Operational Manager Highway Maintenance (or his deputy as noted above) will use his judgement to inform the Operational Manager, City Services and Chief Officer that a full departmental snow emergency should be declared. If the Chief Officer, in consultation with the Corporate Manager, agrees, he/she will advise the Chief Executive to declare a full snow emergency informing all necessary officers and members.

4.6 The Operational Manager Highway Maintenance will inform SWTRA that a snow emergency has been officially declared. They may well have already sanctioned action involving Council resources arising out of an embryo snow emergency situation and, indeed, individual controllers and Highway Maintenance stand-by officers of the Council may have initiated action to begin combating any potential snow emergency.

4.7 Once a Snow Emergency has been declared, a silver control centre for the Council will be established either at the Highway maintenance depot or Committee Room 4 County Hall during the declared emergency as an information and communications centre. This may be necessary to operate 24 hours a day during the declared emergency.

4.8 The responsibilities and location of staff in Snow Emergencies and the information dissemination matrix is contained in Section 7.

4.9 The time taken for the inevitable disruption caused by a snow event to be addressed will depend upon a number of factors including the amount of snow, type of snow and also ambient temperatures. Outline information regarding the time periods required to restore the highway network to a serviceable state in Section 10 of this document.

10 RECOVERY PLAN

Following a snow event, the Council’s objective will be to restore its Principal Roads and remainder of the treated network, and also the Category 1 and 1a footways (as referred to in Section 1 of this document), to a serviceable condition as soon as practically possible.

The Council’s priority will be the Principal Roads and core bus routes throughout the city. For the more usual snow fall events, such as those experienced in the years prior to the December 2010 event, the ‘normal’ expectation would be for the Principal Roads and core bus routes to be returned to a serviceable state within a 24 hour period. However, the actual time taken will be highly dependent upon a number of factors including the amount of snow, type of snow, and continuing weather conditions, in particular ambient temperatures and the occurrence of further snow events. Hence, for a situation such as the event which occurred in December 2010, a longer period of time is likely to be required to return Principal Roads and core bus routes to a serviceable state.

Once the Principal Roads and core bus routes are returned to a serviceable state, the remainder of the pre-treated network (referred to in section 1 of this document) will be tackled. Again, the time taken to clear these remaining routes will be highly dependent upon the factors referred to in the above paragraph. For the more usual snow events, the ‘normal’ expectation would be for these remaining routes to be restored to a serviceable condition within 48 hours, with this time period being extended under the more challenging prolonged weather conditions.

During periods of disruption caused by snowfall, the Council will promptly redeploy appropriate ‘in-house’ resources to assist with the winter maintenance work required to return its highway network to a serviceable state as soon as possible. Additional ‘external’ resources, procured via existing framework contracts, will also be deployed if and as necessary.

11. ASSESSMENT FOR PROVISION OF A SALT CONTAINER

When a request for a Salt Bin is received, the request will be assessed in accordance with the criteria listed in the Form below. Should a large amount of requests be received and assessed to have ‘score’ above the identified threshold, and the corresponding cost exceeds the available budget, the salt bins to be deployed will be prioritised according to their assessed ‘score’.

Page 1 of 3 • All Council staff • Schools

Communications Protocol

• Appoint key media spokesperson at the start of the winter season -the Elected Member for Traffic and Transportation • Brief all Elected Members via updates and maps of the activity such as salting of roads, positioning of salt bins in wards prior to the winter season. • Ensure service areas are aware they need to communicate key information and changes with the communications and media team during any snow event so the correct messages are shared at the correct time with key audiences. • Ensure C2C are kept up to date with latest provision during snow events • Use all media including social media to keep residents informed of disruption and changes to service provision as a result of severe weather • Provide updates to ward members during a snow event of salting, ploughing and spot treatments on a ward basis. • Provide regular updates to media of service provision during a snow event • Liaise with schools to ensure any school closures are communicated to the media

Outline of Activities Planned

Communication with Members: • By 1 st October each season, elected members will be provided with a ward map detailing salting routes, salt bin locations, plus an alphabetic listing of pre-salted routes. • During snow events elected members will receive a daily update on salting, ploughing and spot treatments on a ward basis though available communication channels; Connect2Cardiff, the Council website, email and phone calls as necessary.

Page 2 of 3 General Communication:

• Specific pages have been developed for the Council’s website to cover a range of scenarios. It’s intended that these will be made live in October. The content of the website will reflect the communications and media activity to warn and inform Cardiff citizens at the start of the winter maintenance season. • An Executive Member or Senior Officer will be identified at the start of the season to provide a consistent public face of the Council in TV and radio coverage. • W/C 14 th November 2011: A double page pull-out will be printed in the November edition of Capital Times with details of the snow plan, useful numbers and advice on what to do in the event of heavy snow. • W/C 14 th November: Press release issued and press briefing held to highlight the advisory information is available and the plan is in place. • Further press releases and web pages will be issued as the season progresses and more specifically if severe weather warnings are forecast. • In addition to established C2C and Websites additional channels for communicating key messages during a snow event include Social Media (Facebook, Twitter etc.) which will be utilised to provide responsive information direct to residents and media • Regular updates for media will be provided as the snow event unfolds and affects service provision
