Sussex 4×4 Response has been very busy providing support in the very challenging last 24hrs over 11th/12th march Our Team of volunteers stepped in to provide much needed support in the snow.
We have worked very closely with emergency planning departments throughout the night to transport ambulance paramedic’s @SECAmbulance & NHS hospital staff and some Sussex Police Staff around Sussex during the night.
Running this 24hr operation was a team of dedicated volunteer controllers & 4×4 drivers, things have been very busy but again manageable, we did have a few problems getting to some jobs due to blocked/closed roads, and part of the Sussex roads network also being unavailable due to stranded motorists.
East Sussex County Council Highways @esccroads have been doing a great job day & night since Sunday across Sussex in keeping the roads cleared & gritted as best they could in the drifting snow in high winds last night.
We would also like to say a big thank you to Sussex Police @sussex_police who have also worked very hard in the last 24hrs.
Sussex 4×4 Response currently has nearly 130 volunteers spread across East & West Sussex that are trained, equipped and ready to respond at any time, all vehicles carry certain equipment at all times and intend to get to parts others can’t reach especially when the snow hits.
Sussex 4×4 Response has a great team & We would like to thank all of the Dispatch team and the Responders again for all their hard work put in during a very challenging past 24hrs last night & today in Sussex well done everyone !
