Shaffaq Mohammed, who is also a snow warden, says that when he set up the scheme in 2010 volunteers were provided with a shovel, hi-vis jacket and a tonne of grit.

In response, Sheffield Council said volunteers were mainly in the south west of the city and the benefits of the scheme were not spread across all communities.
