ERYC 3-yearly review of winter services

ERYC 3-yearly review of winter services.

The Council is carrying out its 3-yearly review of winter services policy, and the winter services team is asking for your comments.  The review is due to be reported in July 2016. 
The treated network is in one of three types:
1.        Precautionary Network : treated when it is expected that ice will form.  It has been developed over a number of years and complies with current guidance.  Major network changes such as the new Beverley bypass have been added.
2.        Secondary Network : normally treated when ice or snow is likely to persist beyond midday.  It is treated once the Precautionary Network is clear and subject to the availability of resources.
3.        Most Heavily-Used Footways : treated when ice or snow is likely to be present beyond midday and subject to the availability of resources.

The network is defined using approved criteria and no major changes are anticipated, so the winter services team are not looking to make additions.  They are asking for comments about :
·        the service in general
·        potential service improvements to what they already do
·        views on how third parties can help when the weather becomes particularly bad. 

You can find details of how the winter services team deliver winter services on the website at www.eastriding.gov.uk/winter - click on the link Road and footpath salting to see the treated network.

Please send any comments you have to Lester Burton atlester.burton@eastriding.gov.uk by Friday, 18 December.  You can also post them to Lester Burton, East Riding of Yorkshire Council, Beverley Depot, Annie Reed Road, Beverley HU17 0LF
