Re: Free grit for all!
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? |

A quick google here shows grit costing 24.5p per kilo or £235 per ton and that is only when you buy it at a ton a time in 25Kg bags. If you were spending £6.6 million you would get a little discount :rolleyes: HBC's website is suggesting the current population is about 82,220 6600000 / 245 = 26,938 tons of salt they could buy 26938 / 82200 = 0.33 tons per person in Hyndburn or about 20 bags each (16kg bags) So I think the £6.6 million is rubbish. It would cost more like £300,000 to give everyone in Hyndburn a 16Kg bag each |

Councillors - Nick Whittaker Welcome, by the way. Although I'll probably get a virtual slap now. As we are only really supposed to say hello to people in their introduction thread. Manners being of the utmost importance to us, here at Accy Web. ;) |

Re: Free grit for all!
As well as my request to have mine popped through the letterbox, any chance I could have Free Trade grit?
Thank you. |
Re: Free grit for all!
I was wondering how long it might take. But just been sent an email suggesting that the Council put a picture of John Wayne, and the film True Grit on the front of every bag of grit that the Council sends out. I'd download the picture but I'm afraid the technology defeated me.

The muslims might not like a piccy of John Wayne on their grit bags. They might complain and then Mr Britcliffe would be in serious trouble.

Thank you however for what I am sure are absolutely perfect examples of mathematics. Had he had the foresight to do this himself I possibly wouldn't have said anything. :) |

Just shows doesn't it Neil He's not quite as neutral or unbiased as he might seem, if he doesn't say who he is still, It's good to have him on board so long as in future WE ALL, know who he is. ;) |

Just remind me never ever to be sarcastic with figures again.
At least it's drawn a Conservative councillor out like a particularly effective poultice. Stick around Nick, it might give you some insight into the popularity of decisions by your party leader. |
