How can members of the public help?

If your pavement is gritted by a pavement snowplough, please try to keep your wheelie bin out of its way so it can get past.
Many people clear snow on the pavement in front of their property. This can make a big contribution to making areas safer for everyone, especially the elderly.
There are about 1,000 grit bins placed at hills, on corners or at steps. Members of the public can use these to spread salt on the road or pavement to melt snow or ice. Grit bins are not for private use - they are there to benefit the whole community.
Snowploughs are big and difficult to manoeuvre, especially when it is slippery. When you park, make sure that the snowplough can get past.
