Has this Cold Weather finally gone?




We have all been trying to keep on top of one what seems like the longest cold snap we have had for many years.  We have had many nights of working through trying to keep our clients sites clear of snow and ice this winter and like most of the councils we have applied record amounts of road salt through our truck and hand operated salt spreaders.

Well done to all our team for battling through these conditions.  Our new compact front loader worked
brilliantly at clearing paths and the top of the multi-storey  roof at Peterborough City Hospital when other car parks were still closed 2 days later.   At times we called in the reinforcements and had JCB's working through the day and night.


We are hopeful now that it is getting milder and we are getting all our mowing equipment serviced up and ready for the start of the new grass cutting season   I wont be putting the gritters away yet as looking two weeks ahead we are forecast wind chills of -10 and more snow in two weeks!
