Snow wardens scheme

Last winter we recruited an army of 250 volunteers to help keep residential roads safe and free from snow and ice.

Our Snow Wardens received full training and all of the equipment they needed to safely clear their local streets and they turned out in force during the short period of cold weather in early February.

The scheme was a big success and attracted many positive comments from residents and pedestrians throughout the borough. We are not currently looking for volunteers for the scheme but if you are interested in volunteering this winter then please email SnowWardens@lambeth.gov.uk or telephone 020 7926 0524 and leave your contact details and we will be in touch when the scheme resumes this autumn.  

What does the scheme involve?

If you, or a group of you, would like to be able to clear snow from your pavements, we will give you some basic training to keep you safe and supply you with:

• a grit bin and supply of salt (delivered to you)
• shovels
• hi-visibility vests
• gloves.

If you are part of a community group, we will supply you with a number of shovels and equipment which can be shared by your members.

We have groups of Snow Wardens throughout the borough, if you don't know of any in your area, register your interest today! 

How do I sign up?

To register your interest in volunteering or to simply find out more about the scheme then please email SnowWardens@lambeth.gov.uk or telephone 0207 926 0524.
