Snow is fun when you're young and have four legs but ..
Not everyone in the community is able to get out and about in the snow. In heavy snow, home carers can't always reach vulnerable people. Can you help?
Can you help to clear snow from a driveway or path when home carers can't reach someone?
Or do you have a 4x4 vehicle and can help drive home carers where they are needed?
If you can help please let Bucks County Council know.
Please tell them your name, town/village and contact details if you can help with simple snow clearnance or whether you have a 4x4. Email locality-services@buckscc.ov.uk or telephone 01296 383409
Worried about clearing snow? Don't be.
The Government has produced advice on how to clear snow safely. The most important thing to remember is you won't be in trouble for clearing snow sensibly (eg use salt and sand to melt snow, rather than hot water which will turn to ice). Go to www.direct.gov.uk and type 'snow code' into the search facility.
