plus: Union Road, Ossy. Pickup Street/ Barnes Square, Clayton. Towngate .. Great Harwood. High Street, Rishton. Henry Street, Church. and the other wards where there is heavy public footfall. You could argue around schools, doctor's surgeries, etc. |

Re: Free grit for all!
It would appear that they did some work on shifting the snow in Harwood, on the main shopping street's that is. I think that's a good thing. I would also agree with Dave there are some obvious areas such as the town centre in Accrington that should be cleared.
I think it was right for the Council to try do something about snow clearing, over and above what the County has responsibility for.But I just feel there may just be a more efficient way of going about it . |

I think roads should take priority over footpaths so people can get to work and school. Keeping schools open is not given enough priority in my opinion.

I 'think' there is still a bit of a legal quagmire with regard to gritting pavements ... like if people see the grit ... think it is safe and then slip they could sue, etc.

As for keeping schools open !! Well, don't get me going on that one. Sure .. some schools in Scotland have been surrounded by snow and very rural, but schools in our area have not been too badly cut off. Don't really think it is the pavements surrounding schools .. just getting to it in the first place .. that's why the priority is the major roads. Unfortunately, lots of people can't get their car out of their road. Most pupils are within at least 3 miles of the school and is easily walkable for young people or they could have walked to the nearest bus stop. Suppose the problem is that more teachers live further away, but can surely manage with who turns up. My daughter lives in West Yorkshire and had it far worse than we have ... she walked the 4 miles every day to her surgery in the worst times (impossible to get her car up the winding, icy hill she lives on) ...and she is only a little dot. |

well said kate, yer lass was brought up not to be a tart.;)

Kate, people can't get their car off the drive because they have summer types on their cars. First time I have driven on winter types and I am amazed with the difference. My car on summer tyres struggled to move outside our house. Rhonda's car has 4 winter tyres on and it was superb on the ice and snow. I wish I had them on mine.
