MORE VOLUNTEERS REQUIRED TO ENSURE THAT BRIDFORD HILL IS ACCESSIBLE AND SAFE DURING WINTER WEATHER CONDITIONS
Our Snow Warden has a few volunteers who are willing to go out with the new grit spreader but we do need more drivers with access to a 4×4 vehicle with a tow hitch to come forward and offer their services. The more drivers and vehicles that can be called upon, the less often they will be needed to go out.
We know that Devon County will not budge from their decisions to remove Bridford from the primary gritting route, so it really is a case of the village looking after itself!
Our District and County Councillors have provided funds to finance a new towable grit spreader which is making the job a lot easier and taking less time to do. If it is important for you and your family to have safe access in and out of the village, be it for school, work or for medical appointments then please do consider if you would be willing to leave the comfort of your home for an hour or so to join the Snow Warden’s team to go out and grit the hill.
We are fortunate that we do not have the atrocious weather that other parts of the world are currently experiencing, but the real cold snap is on its way and the reality is that if we are to avoid accidents on the hill, then BRIDFORD MUST BE PREPARED!!
We are not only looking for men. There are some fit women out there who would be most welcome and training will be given.
Please contact the Clerk tel. 252805 or email [email protected] if you would like to help.
