Lessons from Severe Weather February 2009
August 2009
The Secretary of State for Transport asked the UK Roads Liaison Group to review lessons that can be learnt from the events of winter 2008/9 and to recommend what steps could be adopted by highway authorities, producers and suppliers of salt and other stakeholders to ensure England is even better prepared should similar events occur in future.
This review makes recommendations in four themes:
- Winter service resilience
- Preparation for and operation of winter service
- Communications
- Procurement
The review presents a package of recommendations to develop and improve highways service in winter.
