Snow and ice arising between 7 am and 8 pm (Sundays and public holidays 9 am to 8 pm) must be removed immediately after the snowfall ends. Snow falling after 8 pm must be removed the next day by 7 am on weekdays, by 9 am on Sundays and public holidays.
Keep pavements clear of snow over a width of 1.50 m and grit them when there is ice or packed snow; in traffic-calmed areas and pedestrian zones a 1.50 m strip from the walkable edge of the street counts as pavement. At bus and school bus stops, clear and grit so that people can get on and off safely.
Do not put salt or other de-icers on tree pits and planted areas, and do not pile snow containing salt on them. Do not move snow and ice from private property onto the street.
The street register sets out which pavements and carriageways owners are responsible for. Where winter maintenance of the carriageway has been transferred, grit pedestrian crossings, crossing aids and crossing points up to the middle of the road, using abrasive grit in preference to de-icers.
The town's bylaw is authoritative: Street cleaning bylaw of 16 March 2006, last amended 30 October 2024
