With winter around the corner, personal injury solicitors Preston would
advise all businesses, road users and residences in the area to prepare for the
adverse weather conditions the UK is likely to see.
Lancashire County Council has stockpiled nearly 32,000 tonnes of salt andhas filled up 1,800 grit bins. It is working alongside the NHS, the fire
service, the police and other local authorities to deliver public safety
messages and prevent accidents or illnesses from occurring.
It has also updated its website with information about staying safe over
winter, including details about the council's responsibilities and what it can
do to help people, details about school closures, advice for clearing snow from
property and guidance for equipping vehicles for winter driving.
Leaflets will be distributed to council receptions, petrol stations,
garages and high-street shops informing the general public how they can prepare
for the severe weather the county could see in the coming months.
Personal injury compensation claims no win no fee solicitors Preston are also preparing for winter and have
staff ready to help people make a compensation claim if they are injured due to
someone's negligence as a result of the cold weather.
John Fillis, County Councilor, advised people to check travel information
before setting off on road trips, to buy salt from garages and supermarkets so
they can keep their driveways and paths clear, and to check in on vulnerable
neighbours or relatives.
Furthermore, people cannot simply assume that a road is safe to travel on
just because it has been gritted, he added.
He said that Lancashire County Council is well-prepared for the winter and
has done all it can to prepare for prolonged adverse weather conditions, but
will have to use its gritting resources on making main transport routes safe.
Many road traffic accident claims happen over the winter as the poor road
conditions make breaking and manouvreing dangerous.
No win no fee solicitors Preston hope that people in the area enjoy a safe
winter and are not involved in any accidents. If they are, personal injurysolicitors advance payment Preston will be here to help them.
