Winter Planning

If Blackwood is your landlord, our Winter Planning Information Guide explains what to expect during cold weather, including responsibilities around snow and ice.

Your local council is responsible for gritting and snow clearance on roads and public footpaths, as all Blackwood housing developments are council-adopted. In certain housing developments, we have grit bins, and we’ve asked our contractors to stockpile grit. We will refill grit bins if you let us know when supplies are running low.  

If you notice a grit bin that needs refilled, have concerns about communal areas, or experience problems with your heating during cold weather, please get in touch with your Housing Officer, or call our Customer Services Team on 0131 317 7227.
