APSE Winter Maintenance Seminar 2022
About the event
With a changing climate, the response of local authorities is having to adapt to cover both traditional winter maintenance and increasing flooding. 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 explored exemplar councils in their approach to winter maintenance and flooding and will explore issues such as:
- Updates on the current guidance for winter maintenance
- How have councils innovated to meet the winter challenge
- Building service resilience against increasingly uncertain weather
- Multi agency response to civil contingencies
- The importance of accurate weather forecasting
- UK salt supply and technology
- Communicating with the public and other stakeholders during severe weather
