could be liable if someone slipped and injured themselves on paths ■ cleared outside their homes. Now • the Government has issued a “snow code” which reassures peo- ple'.there is , little chance; of them being sued if they act . reasohably.i:.;-

: tainty everyone had last year about ■ whether they put themselves at risk " of being sued by clearing public ar­ eas or the pavement outside their


. home. The advice from the Govern­ ment is as clear as it can be - there’s no law stopping residents from re­ moving snow. As long as you clear it


. carefully and don’t make the path­ way worse than it was before you started, it’s unlikely you could be held legally responsible for anyone being injured.” However, Coun. Ashton stressed that the salt and sand mbt in Lanca- ■


shire County Council’s grit bins is


> there to be used to make the roads ■ and pavements safer for.everyone - not for use on private land. . , T l i e Snow Code says: • There’s no law stopping you .


from clearing snow and ice on the pavement outside your home or from public spaces. • It’s unlikely you’ll be sued or


held legally responsible for any inju­ ries on the path if you have cleared it carefully. Remember that people walking on ice and snow have a re­ sponsibility to be careful themselves. • Be careful - don’t make path-


' ways more dangerous by causing them to refreeze.


- • Start early - it’s easier to move


fresh, loose snow than hard snow that has been packed together by people walking on it.


. • Use sand or salt to melt snow and improve traction. Never use water to melt snow, which may re­ freeze and cause black ice, making the pathway more dangerous than it was before, jv • Use some table salt to prevent pathways refreezing when tempera­ tures drop.


11 • When shovelling snow, take


care not to block other people’s paths or highways drains. Clear a path down the middle of the area so you can walk easily and move snow from the centre of the path to the sides.
