Snow Clearing Peterborough Hospital

The snow came down again and we were out there shoveling the white stuff again keeping the main Hospitals in Peterborough clear so the patients and staff could get to work safely.

This year as well as man power we had the a John Deere Telescopic Handler with specialist snow blade, a JCB digger working on the roads and car parks.  We then used a John Deere compact tractor with front loader to keep the paths clear.

We kept all the main service roads passable as the snow was coming down and managed to get all the main service roads clear by 8am the next morning!  

With heavy snow forecast again for tomorrow we are busy replenishing the salt stocks and keeping the machines and drivers ready to clear the white stuff should we get another good dollop!
