SNOW PATROL - Information on how Town and Parish Councils can help with Winter maintenance.
North Yorkshire County Council (NYCC) Winter Maintenance Service (because of the size of the County and available resources) advises that it is not possible to grit all footpaths and pavements during severe weather. Community Partnerships can enhance the Winter Maintenance Service by clearing snow and gritting pavements.
To set up a Community Partnership - firstly, and most importantly, volunteers are needed, then interest can be registered with NYCC so the scheme can be approved.
Community Partnerships, once set up, are offered training from NYCC and agree to pay for equipment, grit bins and grit, provide evidence of adequate insurance and agree to be responsible for maintenance of grit bins. Proof of good health may be required. Routes to be gritted are agreed in advance with NY Highways. The focus is on snow clearance not preventative salting for frost. During periods of prolonged heavy snowfall pavements will only be cleared after main routes such as shopping areas and other main pedestrian routes.
The salt in the grit bins is for use on public paths only, not for clearing private driveways.
To consider if it is possible to set up a Community Partnership, Barlby and Osgodby Town Council needs to know how many residents are interested in becoming 'Snow Patrol' Volunteers. If there are sufficient volunteers and a scheme is approved, a co-ordinator will contact Volunteers when clearance is to be carried out. Please make sure that if you volunteer, that you are available at short notice otherwise this scheme will not be a success.
Please contact the Town Council to express an interest. Contact details on the 'Contact us' page
