| Quote: The Rocket "'"
And the council won a fleet of extra gritters in a charity tombola i suppose?'"
its that kind of attitude thats got the countrys economy in the state its in today 
we work as a NATION.
we BUILD gritters, salters, ploughs etc,
we have enough engineers out of work from closed down industries havnt we??
we kick start the economy also by doing this.
funding? in the first instant we use money we spend on building nuclear missiles.
if we have fleets of unused gritters for years , so be it.....after all we have stockpiles of nukes that havnt been used?? the gritters might get used??
then we get to the real problem....how to melt the snow?
we build giant portable low loader type braziers on wheels and drag em around to thaw the roads.
we get the coal from untapped sources below our country, putting thousands of others back into work.
we use the coal to also make gas, and we invent a flame thrower type contraption to melt the snow.
at an extreme we could see the incoming snow storms over the altantic and north sea and set off a small nuclear explosion to disperse it before it arrived.
earlier poster suggested salt stocks on estates for residents to use????
BRILLIANT IDEA
me and my neighbours mucked in during the partial thaw and as well as clearing our own properties, we cleared the pavements.
alas..with them being wet, they re froze overnight.
now if we would have had access to a couple of barrow loads of salt............??

Noticed on my way out of work around lunch that there were 4 council workers in high-vis clearing the pavements and spreading salt around the town hall in Wigan...nice to see that they are priotising correctly...wouldn't want the civil servants slipping and getting a bruise on their bums...they might not be able to sit on them for the rest of the day

Just as we have had our maintenance team clearing our own site at work.
You can't really be annoyed with them for that. |

The reason why the gritting situation is so bad (and to be fair it's not only Wigan council at fault here), is that on account of the credit crunch and the subsequent budget freezes/cuts, there are certain things that are easier to cut than others.
Grit is one of the easier ones.
Sadly the gamble has not paid off.

It would of saved more red faces had Wigan Council not stated on their website in November about how well prepared they were for winter and how they had more than enough grit and would not be holding back when it came to using it. |
