APSE Winter Maintenance Forum 2019
View the programme here
Winter maintenance services are essential for local residents and businesses, but changeable and unpredictable weather conditions, increasing litigation from the public and keeping pace with new innovations and technical developments can all add to the challenges facing Highways and Winter Maintenance Services.
This seminar will explore exemplar councils in their winter maintenance approaches and tackle issues such as:
- Updates on the current guidance for winter maintenance
- How councils have innovated to meet the winter challenge
- Building service resilience against increasingly uncertain weather
- UK salt production and improvements in supply
- The opportunities from improved weather prediction and technology
- Snow wardens, recruitment and retention
- Communicating with the public and other stakeholders during severe weather
All these issues and more will be discussed and debated, with ample opportunity for delegates to network, learn and share ideas and information from each other.
Alongside a trade exhibition this event is a timely and affordable learning seminar for all involved in the winter maintenance service.
