Black ice is hidden and dangerous. We should be gritting according to the conditions, rain, dew, temperature. Not by eyesight from an elevated cab in the dark.

Some councils had 69 days, Lancashire had about 10 or 12.

Not having enough grit is not a budge choice but false economy. For every £ saved I would not be surprised to see it costing everyone else in society £10 in accidents/inconvience.

Local decisions should not have been removed with a soviet style approach.

Driving around Fern Gore 3 times with a flashing light and an empty cage is wasteful.
