I seem to remember with amazing clarity living in Oswald St in 1947 when there was quite a snowfall.
Each householder/tenant cleared the pavement in front of their house.
Doubt that there was any grit/sand/salt provided by the Council in those days - people seemed to be proud of the cleanliness of the pavements and doorstep - dolly stones even.
Are people unable to do that now without more free handouts?
