Winter Management Plan

We have recently reviewed and updated our winter maintenance plan, making
sure we are ready for any
eventualities if we get a spell of
adverse weather over the winter.
We are currently ensuring all grit bins
are full and ready to be used. If
there is a spell of snow or heavy ice,
these can be used to make the
paths more accessibl. We would
encourage all residents to try and
clear the areas near to their house
and particularly help any elderly or
vunerable neighbours if possible.
