Planned treatment for entrances, footpaths, ramps, steps, car parks and vehicle routes - shaped around opening times, staff arrivals, public access and cold-weather trigger points.

Planned around how each property works in winter
Every property works differently. Some need treatment before opening, some need attention on public-facing routes, and others need cover for vehicle access, delivery points or wider outdoor areas.

Doorways, front approaches and first-contact access points treated as agreed.
Shared walkways and circulation areas
External paths, ramps, steps and pedestrian routes planned around footfall.
Vehicle routes and car parks
Car parks, delivery zones, service roads and wider circulation areas.
Ramps, gradients and shaded routes

Site-specific priorities
Additional outdoor areas identified during review and built into the winter plan.
