Snow - what Camden Council is doing

Here's the latest update sent to councillors about what Camden Council is doing on the snow:
Fortune Green Road at 9.30 Sunday morning

We received 10-15cm of snow between 6pm and 4am this morning. The forecast for today is dry and cold with no further snow.

Because we starting gritting early yesterday and carried this out throughout the evening all priority roads remained open and many side roads are also passable with care.

We will continue to grit priority roads throughout the day and evening as necessary.

Cleaning services remain suspended today with all staff redirected to snow clearance and pavement gritting. We will focus on priority areas such as hospital entrances and high footfall areas.

Refuse collection services have been suspended this morning so staff can assist clearing snow but we expect the service to resume by 2pm today. On Sundays we only collect from the main high roads so we are not expecting this to be a significant problem and we aim to catch up with the collections when the service is resumed.

All parks are now open, but some parks on the higher ground areas, such as Waterlow and in the Kilburn area, were opened later due to access difficulties.

Parking enforcement will be affected today.

North of Euston Road, main roads only will be enforced by both CCTV and on foot patrols. Main roads are bus routes.

South of Euston Road, bus lane and moving traffic contraventions will be enforced by CCTV and there will be on street foot patrol on main roads.
