It's no different at local level either. The Conservative leaflet (which I believe is a generic grit bin-hugging photo opportunity for all ward candidates rather than individually tailored) is riddled with promises that they won't be able to deliver on, plus the rather spurious lie that it was the government that caused the grit shortage last year.
If that is true then why were we borrowing grit from other councils that had stocked up to capacity well in advance? Hyndburn Council were advised of that scenario as early as August and could have prevented much of the chaos over Christmas by spending the comparatively measly amount on getting us up to capacity.
