Are you saying that the council just leaves the excess there for the elements to get rid of:eek: The council trucks don't give the streets a wash and brush up:confused:

Salt and grit only works effectively at dissolving ice down to a temperature of between -10 and -13 degrees so I am told and in the past two years we have had temperatures down to as low as -22 (if my car thermometer and Rishton Towers barometer are to be believed). What doesn't help is people emptying roadside gritbins to treat their own driveways, leaving the roads and pavements in an even worse state.

As far as remnants of grit being left behind until summer, I can't say I found it to be a problem myself.

Here at Rishton Towers I do my bit by getting the servants to empty ashes from the hearth onto bits of Bridge Street which don't have enough grit.

Works a treat and saves those precious salt reserves.

I would have thought that you'd have been quick to point out Peter's contributions to the online world through his Twitter account? He seems very good at holding his own when it comes to knocking the opposition.

I hope nothing libellous comes of it:
