West Berkshire Roads
14.1 Vaisala Ltd has undertaken thermal mapping across Berkshire, a technique for measuring and analysing the thermal characteristics of road surfaces.
It is normally carried out under three different weather conditions, one of which is the extreme condition or night when skies are clear and winds light. The other weather conditions are known as intermediate and damped. Under extreme conditions, the maximum variation in road surface temperature is produced, this, together with the coldest absolute temperatures, leads to potentially hazardous road conditions. Under such conditions it is most important to be able to accurately predict road surface temperatures.
14.2 The information yielded from thermal mapping is used in conjunction with site specific forecasts to predict accurately the minimum temperature of road surfaces across the road network. This allows accurate decisions to be made not only about whether to salt or not but whether to salt only those roads that require treatment.
14.3 Thermal mapping has been used to produce data, which allows the pre-salting routes to be analysed objectively and to ensure the optimum location of road surface and atmospheric condition sensors. Ten sensor sites have been installed on the network locations shown on the following page.
Annual calibration checks on all sensors are undertaken by the appropriate equipment supplier, with a full report submitted to the Council.
Every hour, information from these sensors is fed automatically into the Central Processing Unit at Vaisala’s offices in Birmingham. The parameters recorded are, air temperature, humidity, precipitation, wind speed and direction, road surface condition (wet or dry) and depth temperature. Forecasts are produced by the London Weather Centre for West Berkshire roads based on this information. These forecasts when used in conjunction with the thermal mapping data forms one of the most sophisticated ice prediction systems in the U.K.
West Berkshire Council acts as lead authority on behalf of the other Berkshire Unitary Authorities in respect of the co-ordination and procurement of contracts with the Met Office and Vaisala Ltd.
All six Berkshire Unitary Authorities have access to the ice detection equipment described above.
Motorways and Trunk Roads
14.4 Arrangements have been made with the Highways Agency Area 3 consultants for the use of information, and maintenance of the Unitary Authority sensors located on the Motorways and Trunk roads.

15 MEDIA COMMUNICATIONS
West Berkshire Roads
15.1 Liaison with the news media, particularly the local radio stations, BBC Radio Berkshire, Radio 2-Ten FM and Kick FM is of the utmost importance and will be maintained during periods of snowfall. This contact will normally be directly with the Council’s Public Relations Manager.
BBC Radio Berkshire, Radio 2-Ten FM and Kick FM will be advised by fax on those occasions when precautionary salting is to be undertaken. For information, a copy of the fax is given in Appendix N.
15.3 It is also desirable that communications with the Police is maintained. To this end, a copy of the fax message described in 15.2 will be issued to the Thames Valley Police Control Centre for onward transmission to local stations as appropriate. Additional information will also be provided as appropriate to the motoring organisations, particularly during periods of snow clearance when it is essential that the travelling public is advised of current road conditions and cleared routes.
15.4 Prior to the onset of winter, details of the Council’s Winter Service Plan will be published in the local press and made available through the Council’s web site: www.westberks.gov.uk.
15.5 A leaflet called ‘Safer Driving This Winter on West Berkshire Roads’ will be produced which shows the primary salting network and provides winter driving tips. This leaflet is available from Council offices and libraries as well as being displayed on the Council’s web page (www.westberks.gov.uk).
16 PERFORMANCE MONITORING AND AUDIT
The Winter Service provided by West Berkshire Council is undertaken by the Contractor under the Term Maintenance Contract for Highways and Bridges 2006-2011.

16.3 At the end of each Winter Service season, the performance will be measured and summarised as part of the Winter Service Policy and Plan annual report.
16.4 Throughout the Winter Service season ad hoc audits will be instigated by the Winter Service Manager whenever possible.
An audit will consist of West Berkshire Council staff following a gritter on an actual salting run to record and verify the following:
Time vehicle left depot.
Vehicle following agreed route.
Vehicle travelling at appropriate speed whilst salting.
Ensure vehicle driver stops to check spreading equipment is working correctly.
Check that salt is being spread.
Time vehicle arrives back in depot.
Following an audit, a formal meeting will be held with the Contractor to discuss their performance, results and any urgent actions required to achieve the contract standards.
17 FLOODING
17.1 West Berkshire Council has an approved Flood Plan that is implemented when flooding is expected or experienced.
The Flood Plan details the roles and responsibilities of both West Berkshire Council and the Environment Agency. A copy is attached as Appendix R.
17.2 Requests for sandbags and help/information should be directed to Streetcare on 01635 519080 (during normal working hours) and the duty Emergency Contact Officer on 01635 42161 (after hours and weekends). 18 BUDGETS
18.1 West Berkshire’s 2007/2008 budget for winter service allows for the following:
Maintenance, repair and calibration of communication and ice prediction equipment
Fixed costs of standby arrangements
An average of 50 precautionary salting runs on the Primary network
Weather forecasts and ice prediction service
Provision and maintenance of salt bins
18.2 It should be noted that whilst snow clearing operations will be undertaken in accordance with the Winter Service Plan and as instructed by the Winter Service Manager, there is no specific budget for this work. However, a report will be prepared and submitted to the appropriate committees as soon as possible after snow clearing has been completed in order for any budgetary pressures and adjustments to be discussed and agreed.
