St Mary's has been open all week, and we got the kids there quite easily in a saloon car, I went out at my normal time this morning, and apart from the street I live on (where mount carmel has been closed twice this week), the rest was a breeze, even willows lane was ok to drive on, 3 of our staff came from rossendale, the last one to arrive was an hour and a half late, but got in, everybody except myself and 1 other was late, and I am told that the main reason is that many people just dont know how to drive in snow. At lunchtime, I drove to rossendale and back and was clear all the way.
