Guidance on snow liaison from Telford and Wrekin Council

The Parish Council Snow Liaison representative acts as the point of contact between the local people and Telford & Wrekin Council Officers engaged on winter service operations.  The purpose is to help build and update a picture of local conditions and their particular area.

This will allow the resources to be targeted to reduce any dangers or inconvenience as soon as practicable. The Liaison Officer’s role is to provide accurate information mainly during periods of prolonged snow conditions. The Council’s policy during snow conditions is to target the available plant and labour to deal with problems in a priority order.mWe use our term maintenance contractor, Balfour Beatty Living Places, other local contractors together with local farmers. In times of heavy snow, our first priority will be given to the major roads and important pedestrian areas.  Local information is particularly important at such times to deal with the major problems quickly and effectively and then to target the resources as they become available to the next priority.  This is where information from the snow liaison contact is most useful.

Information on blocked roads and where they have become dangerous or impassable due to compacted snow or ice helps us to inform drivers of passable routes to their destinations. The clearance and gritting of pedestrian areas by shops, civic centres or elderly persons accommodation is aided by having up to date local information.

There are also times when we may be able to provide help in special cases such as a medical emergency (but not for routine snow clearing to surgeries and doctor’s houses). It can be seen from the attached policy that we do not undertake to treat all of our roads for frost and ice or for the removal of snow.  You will see from the policy that our aim during snow events is to maintain movement around the Borough between major centres and at least one access to each hamlet.
