Volunteer snow wardens
We introduced the Volunteer Snow Warden Scheme to actively support members of the local community who wish to offer their spare time to manually clear snow from publicly-adopted footways and footpaths.
The scheme runs from approximately 1st November to 31st March. It requires groups of volunteers to nominate a snow warden leader who is responsible for carrying out duties assigned to them by the scheme.
To find out more about becoming a volunteer snow warden team member or leader, view our Snow Warden Scheme - welcome pack (PDF 153KB). It also includes instructions on how to apply. Part of the application process includes taking council-approved Snow Warden Scheme - training (PDF 229KB). View Snow Wardens Scheme privacy notice (PDF 200KB).
