During winter weather the town council will as far as is possible attempt to clear snow and ice from the properties it is responsible for, including the Market Place, the area around the War Memorial, the County Hall Museum precincts, the Guildhall, Boxhill Wood and its play areas. Please note that clearing snow and ice may take some time depending on conditions and it is not possible to clear all areas immediately. The town council cannot clear snow and ice from the highway as this is a county council responsibility.
The town council also provides salt and grit for residents to use in icy and snowy conditions for areas around their properties. The bins are replenished during and after periods of winter weather but please contact the council on 01235 522642 or enquiries@abingdon.gov.uk if you find a salt bin empty.
