The liability fear is a myth, and it stops most people volunteering
The myth
Clearing snow does not create liability if done sensibly. The official guidance says so explicitly and has done for over a decade.
What we do
Clear the pavements outside the shop, the surgery, and the two bus stops. About an hour on the mornings it is needed.
What is provided
Grit, a shovel, and a hi-vis. Grit bins are refilled by the council on request and we do that at the start of each winter.
