Quote: Bilko "Apparently Wigan Council has 10 gritter wagons that have to cover all of Wigan and Leigh.
It did come all of a sudden over night. I was up late and it was rain till about 3am then it turned to heavy snow.
You also have to take into account the staff. One worker for another council said he had done over 100 hours overtime during christmas period to try and keep things going. If they employed loads of men and we have a mild winter, some people (not naming any names) would moan we were wasting cash on them.
The reason things are worse these days is a, the buggers that are rlhttps://www.hse.gov.uk/rl and b, the amount of cars on the road compared to 20 years has increased dramatically whilst public transport standards have decreased. People also have to travel further to work with most of the local factories having closed.'"
I'm sure that the people you haven't named will ignore this and continue to complain
