This morning on our way to and from Blackburn we noticed that the roads in Hyndburn were full of snow and that gritting was conspicuous by its absence. In contrast the main roads in the Blackburn area were clear despite the fact that snow lay on the pavements and in the side roads. This was glaringly obvious on Blackburn/Accrington road when leaving Hyndburn and enetring the Blackburn boundaries. A bit of Hyndburn's snow had been carried over into Blackburn by vehicles going that way and a bit of Blackburn's grit had been carried our way by vehicles coming in the opposite direction.

Why should there be this difference I wonder?
