I WINTER MAINTENANCE SERVICES DURING THE BIG FREEZE

There was submitted Agenda Note AN27-2010 advising the Committee of the implementation of the Council's Winter Maintenance Policy during the recent extreme weather conditions and outlining the likely additional expenditure resulting therefrom.

It was reported that, as in previous years, the City Development Department would be undertaking an internal review of its Winter Maintenance performance over the whole of the winter period, in particular, considering the order of priority in which Low Priority Routes should be treated once the High Priority Routes were cleared and remained clear in periods of prolonged severe weather. It would also include a review of grit bins.

The Committee noted the above position and commended its frontline Winter Maintenance staff, and those of Tayside Contracts and Dundee Contract Services for keeping Dundee's High Priority Carriageway and Footways open during some of the most extreme weather conditions in recent memory.

Will DAWSON, Convener.
