SNOW: No grit leaves shoppers on thin ice
I understand that some grit was put down on Thursday night for the main roads, but what about the health and safety of people who have to use the untreated pavements?
At the moment, Sunday evening, the weather is still very cold and, of course, the iced-up pavements are still very dangerous.

This, of course, would save the NHS a great deal of money and time looking after the people in hospital, and not the ones that turn up with broken bones, after falling on slippery pavements.
I know it is not cheap to supply gritters on all roads, but if a sack of grit was left at the ends of really iced-up roads I am sure that many residents, would be pleased to spread this over pavements to stop many poor souls breaking their necks!
