Did you know that Aberdeenshire Council runs a Snow Warden Scheme?
Training and equipment can be made available to groups of volunteers and the scheme runs between November and March. A significant benefit of this scheme is that volunteers snow clearing activities are covered by 3rd party liability insurance either directly from the Council or via the Community Council’s cover. The Community Council would like to hear from you if you’d like to be involved. info@oldmeldrum.org
From the council’s website …
“It’s hoped that the ever-growing population of Snow Wardens who generously volunteer their time to help with clearing and gritting in their communities will expand even further this winter.
Aberdeenshire’s resilient communities and Snow Wardens play a vital role in helping to support the council’s winter maintenance approach. The council scheme is growing in popularity and actively supports members of our communities by supplying them with equipment, PPE and training to manually clear snow and grit publicly-adopted footways.
These self-managing groups of community-spirited residents jump into action whenever they are required – providing help in both residential areas and in town centres to bolster the council’s own efforts.
Some groups have asked for mechanical equipment to help their efforts and the council is investigating various options. New volunteers are always welcome – find out more at https://bit.ly/AbshireSnowWardens “
