Atarah, they were telling the truth........Accrington town centre, especially Broadway and Union Street could easily double for a skating rink.......except that the ice is pitted and uneven, making it even more deadly.......and there were two HBC chaps wielding brushes and those pick up tools.......should they not have been given a bag of rock salt and be scattering that about?.......or if there isn't any money for rock salt, then how about breaking the ice up.
Perhaps it isn't covered by their contract of employment.
