Re: Free grit for all!
I once bought a gritting device for use on the foothpaths and car parks at Melbourne House.
It was similar to a wheelbarrow - had a mechanical action which spun the grit out from the base as it moved. It was cheap and meant that the head cleaner could efficiently make the walkways safe. |

PS as an afterthought to my last post - the manual roadsweeping chaps couldn't work whilst there was snow, so they could use them.(no heavier than the barrows they are used to)

It shows the shallowness and pettiness of politics in Hyndburn . It carries over to this week's Accrington Observer . Miles Parkinson submitted a motion to Tuesday's council meeting . The Labour group has accused the council of failing to deliver on its promises of free grit . Peter Britcliffe rightly says that the unanticipated bad weather has slowed down deliveries . To me that is a valid response . So Cllr Parkinson stop playing silly beggars . In the same Observer a report shows that Peter Britcliffe is prattling on about Graham Jones' Parliamentary expenses . Graham Jones rightly points out the expense of living in London , and gives a valid justification for his expenses . So Cllr Britcliffe stop playing silly beggars . Once again , and I suppose it won't be the last time , we have examples of petty party politics . A plague on both your houses , Tweedledum and Tweedledee . |

We couldn't deliver grit to de-ice the roads because the roads were icy? A borough-wide scheme which involved no extra effort on the part of the voters would have been far better, as it stands we have thousands of residents who have missed out on this overly-complicated exercise because they didn't live in the right ward. We're back in the realm of common sense here. If you truly want to help everybody then you help everybody, you don't simply look after your own. I can only assume that Rishton and the other 'lesser' wards aren't high on the Conservative agenda. I'm afraid that all this political pettiness that you are obsessed with stems from political bias from the controlling group in the first place. I'm sure someone somewhere will bring up past mistakes in order to justify this new one. Over to you, Jaysay.... |

well to my small mind the best way would have been to work out from the depot in n increasing radius. making the way safer to get further?

Fortunately, I kept a few bags of fire ash for just such an occasion and it eats through ice for fun, even when cold. The residents on Bridge Street were grateful and made rather unflattering comments about the non-efforts of my Conservative counterpart who lives at the other end of the street. Every now and then you do have to stick your head above the parapet and do what you said you would do if you got elected. |

Residents in Baxenden were informed by blanket election campaigning, Oswaldtwistle speaks for itself, but some wards are still waiting for their deliveries. I'm not knocking extra grit, just the bad implementation of its delivery to where it's really needed. |

I ordered a bad of grit after you informed us about it on here after the Rishton meeting. The next time I heard about grit was at the Ossy Area Council meeting. I did not have a personal invite to order any posted through my door, no secret Ossy only phone calls. We don't have a bat sign in the sky to inform us of these things. |
