Basically, no, Neil, not much cost to buy grit or table salt is it ? Or, if able, to clear it yourself. Just a gesture I reckon.

Well, wouldn't be feasible/cost effective to clear all pavements within the borough ... even with Ken's ludicrous suggestion. For a start, would need more than four men .... have to be at it 24/7, which would mean doubling this workforce. Then wouldn't be just the once after it melts and freezes again ! That's for starters. We do have sixteen wards.
By the way, Ossy did not get priority for deliveries :
