Volunteer to help your parish
Many of Cambridgeshire's parishes are signed up to our winter gritting volunteer programme. This is where the parish has identified footpaths that they would like gritted in winter, for example, outside a school or a shop.
The volunteers are put forward by the parish clerk, trained and insured by Highways and provided with a manual pushable spreader. They are then alerted by us to go out gritting through the website to the right. Get in touch with your local parish clerk if you would like to be a volunteer.
The leaflets below explain what is involved. For additional information please see the winter gritting leaflets and presentation below.
Helping yourself and your neighbours
If you are looking to grit paths or clear snow yourself for you or your neighbours, but not as part of the parish volunteer scheme, have a look at the Government guidance. The Snow Code explains what you need to do to keep yourself and others safe.
