Tony Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 Once again i didn't make it in thanks to the roads not being salted, you would think living on a steep hill near two schools and a shopping precinct the road would have some priority...... seemingly not Anyhoo, i've just walked down to check on the car and see if conditions are any better.... methinks not. The ice road Some of the abandoned cars My Vectra was still intact Unlike some of these who didn't reads things correctly Lamppost 1 SAAB 0 Plus a few others And still at 12pm no one can get up/down I think i did the right thing and just parked the car and walked home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMARTLY Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 Our road ( hill ) was like that when I upended myself spreading the grit this morning. Bu I have a grit pin opposite. If I was you Tony I would send those pictures to the council and ask for a grit bin to be sited there to avid accidents and injury. And / or put a report here: http://www.fixmystreet.com/reports Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
