Snow Shovel Edinburgh

Last year saw the worst weather Edinburgh has experienced in almost 50 years. As well as reviewing and improving our winter weather plans, we are encouraging people to be prepared for severe weather:

Before winter:

• have your heating system checked
• stock up on rock salt for your pavements and driveways
• get a good, strong snow shovel
• have some food stocks
• talk to family and friends about childcare
• review your travel plans
• get your car a winter health check

During severe winter weather:

• check on neighbours
• keep up to date with roads, schools and travel information
• stay warm
• avoid using your car unless really necessary
• help by clearing snow and ice in your area
• reduce the amount of waste going into your bin and keep recyclable material in bags (most will be fine in the snow) until collections resume

Clearing snow and ice is hard work and it helps if you've got the right tools. In the past few years as the Edinburgh winters have got successively harsher many new innovative and affordable snow tools have become available and we now have a great selection of - Snow Shovels, Snow Scoops and Snow Pushes
