Just been talking to a neighbour ... they had been into town ... parked up on Union Street. His wife fell down with a thump within 30 yards of the car .. luckily she wasn't hurt. Plenty of help from the PCSO's, etc., but think prevention better than cure now.

Mind you, Pickup Street pavements in Clayton has not been gritted .. and this is our main walkway for shoppers. Would think that, at least, the shopkeepers e.g. the Co-op would make an effort to clear it to their door ... used to do in the past. Think there is some sort of legal implication these days though.
