Clearing Snow

Clearing snow and ice yourself - the 'snow code' There's no law stopping you from clearing snow and ice on the pavement outside your home or from public spaces. It's unlikely you'll be sued or held legally responsible for any injuries on the path if you have cleared it carefully.

Remember, people walking on snow and ice have responsibility to be careful themselves.

For advice on clearing paths and public spaces safely and effectively, see: Clearing snow and ice from pavements yourself
