Tandridge District Council is looking for more Snow Angels to join its network of volunteers who help clear pavements around key areas when it snows.

Local volunteer groups are available in Bletchingley, Caterham on the Hill, Caterham Valley, Dormansland, Godstone, Lingfield, Nutfield, Smallfield, Tatsfield, Warlingham, Whyteleafe, Oxted and Limpsfield. If you live in any of these areas, please support this initiative by volunteering to come and clear snow during the week and at weekends.

As soon as snow is forecast, volunteers are contacted to help pre-salt pavements and then to clear snow and ice. All the equipment and salt is provided by Tandridge District Council and Surrey County Council. In addition council staff who can’t get into work can volunteer to go and help the group closest to where they live.

If you can spare a few hours to help your local community, please contact customerservices@tandridge.gov.uk or call 01883 722000 to find out more. 

Paul Barton, Chief Community Services Officer, said: “We are very appreciative of the hard work of our existing Snow Angels, but we are always looking for more volunteers. Helping your community to clear snow is a great way to support vulnerable people and help keep businesses open when it snows. Please register to be a Snow Angel if you can.”
