Derbyshire County Council appeals for snow wardens
The call is being made for people to help clear snow and ice through the worst of the winter weather.
It’s as part of the snow warden scheme to supplement the work done by gritting teams. The County Council want to hear from residents to help out in isolated rural communities during chilly conditions.
Each group is given a free delivery of up to a tonne of bagged grit, and given training and advice on how to clear snow and ice safely.
Farmers and others with ploughing or gritting equipment are also being asked to work as contractors to help keep their local roads on the move from now until next April.
Anyone taken on as a contractor will get £200 for signing up, plus extra payments for call outs.
Town and parish councils, schools and other community groups interested in volunteering can find out more and sign up by emailing snow@derbyshire.gov.uk
