Devon’s community spirit has been key to the success of the County Council’s Snow Warden scheme – which is marking its 10th anniversary this year.
Over the past 10 years, volunteers like Peter Smerdon, who is one of the Snow Wardens for the parish of Rattery in South Devon, have been looking after their priority local routes which aren’t covered by Devon County Council’s gritters....
With Devon’s Snow Wardens prepared to spring into action this weekend, they will also be marking the 10th anniversary of the volunteer scheme this year.
The scheme has gone from strength to strength since it was launched by Devon County Council in 2011 , and around 325 towns and parishes in the county currently have snow wardens.
