Working towards a more effective and efficient future
The winter of 2013/14 was recognised by many as the 'calm after the storm' after relatively mild conditions were experienced in most parts of the UK compared to the previous five winters.
But nonetheless, the task of managing winter in the UK remains as challenging as ever as councils balance tight budgets with delivering more innovation and efficiencies to make their winter service strategies more effective.
This year’s conference programme is once again set to deliver vital content from the heart of the winter service sector addressing the most important issues and challenges in the sector as well as focus on subject areas never covered at Cold Comfort before. The conference and exhibition is is bringing unseen and unique coverage of the winter service sector and continues with more interactive approach.
As ever we will focus on the planning, strategic development and implementation of winter service delivery plans and other key guidance such as how local authorities are implementing the new Appendix H document which was launched at Cold Comfort last September.
