Cold weather equipment for Cars

During the cold periods at the start of the year I would like to advise firstly all motorists to ensure that all vehicles are
equipped with all they need to deal with harsh weather, poor road surfaces and any incidents which result from these.

As a minimum the AA advises that in winter conditions motorists ensure that they carry the following…

- Blanket, rug or sleeping bag
- Shovel
- Bits of carpet or thick cardboard to place under driven wheels to help regain traction
- Salt, sand or cat litter – to help clear snow and ice
- Reflective jacket
- Ice scraper or de-icer
- Torch and batteries
- Tow rope
- Snow chains (if living in a rural area)
- Battery jump leads
- Bottled water
- Snacks – chocolate or cereal bars
- Extra screen wash

From the Minutes – Emergency Response Guidance Plan to be produced

Cllr Fleming reported on his attendance at the conference “Speed Training” held at
Cottingham School.

A number of Emergency and allied Services were represented.

The focus of the event was to bring a greater cohesion of response to any emergency.  This was brought into focus as a result of the recent flooding in Hull and East Riding areas. Each service outlined their area of responsibility and how they inter-reacted with others.
It was suggested that various bodies could also play an important role in this and local knowledge could be most valuable in such circumstances. It is suggested that Parish Councils should each formulate an Emergency Plan.

Councillor Fleming proposed that of the three suggested plans Full, Abridged and Guidance that Molescroft because of its size and situation should create a Guidance Plan.

Agreed – Guidance Plan to be produced
Action: It was agreed Cllr Ritchings should progress this proposal.
