According to the government website, there’s no law stopping you from clearing snow and ice on the pavement outside your home or from public spaces. Use salt or sand – NOT WATER! If you use water to melt the snow, it will refreeze and turn to black ice. When you’re shovelling snow, take care where you put it so it doesn’t block people’s paths or drains.
