Clear snow from a road, path or cycleway

You can clear snow and ice from pavements yourself. It바카라 사이트™s unlikely that you바카라 사이트™ll be sued or held responsible if someone is injured on a path or pavement if you바카라 사이트™ve cleared it carefully.

How to clear snow and ice

When you clear snow and ice:

  • do it early in the day - it바카라 사이트™s easier to move fresh, loose snow
  • don바카라 사이트™t use water - it might refreeze and turn to black ice
  • use salt if possible - it will melt the ice or snow and stop it from refreezing overnight (but don바카라 사이트™t use the salt from salting bins as this is used to keep roads clear)
  • you can use ash and sand if you don바카라 사이트™t have enough salt - it will provide grip underfoot
  • pay extra attention when clearing steps and steep pathways - using more salt may help
