Get ready for winter

The campaign explains the steps that are being made in preparation for a severe winter this year and also explains how residents can help.

For example this year West Lothian has:

- bought record levels of salt
- invested in new snow clearing machines
- developed the new email service
- published a four-page winter supplement in the council newspaper Bulletin (distributed during week starting 14 November)

Residents can help by:

- Parking sensibly as abandoned vehicles cause problems for everyone
- Sharing information with neighbours and friends and looking out for vulnerable neighbours
- If you are able, clear the path and pavement in front of your home.
- Look out for the winter Bulletin and keep it handy

More information is available on the council's website: www.westlothian.gov.uk/winter (new window)
