HASLEMERE Town Council is seeking a volunteer snow warden for the town centre should there be a heavy fall this winter.

Mayor Sahran Abeysundara has volunteered to act as snow warden for Wey Hill, where his business is based. Salt and a gritter will be stored at The Silkroad.

As in previous years, the council plans to stockpile bags of salt together with manual pavement gritters in both areas of the town. A volunteer warden should have a facility to store a quantity of salt and a gritter and be ready to act – or mobilise a team of helpers as quickly as possible after a snowfall.

The town centre area includes the High Street, West Street and parts of Petworth Road, Lower Street and Shepherds Hill.

One of the council’s spreaders has apparently not been returned after being borrowed last winter, so there is a request for this to happen before any winter chill sets in.

For further information or to volunteer, contact deputy town clerk Sarah Nash on (01428) 654305.
