Comments on Gritting during cold spell

To ensure that all the lessons of the ice and snow during the recent cold snap are learned, the Liberal Democrat group on the County Council are surveying people's experiences across the County.

The deadline for this is a meeting on March 25 when the LibDem's will push the County for better planning, and better provision for cyclists and pedestrians.

To ensure that an accurate picture is available at the meeting the LibDem's want to hear your experience of the response to the snow and ice, positive or negative. You can contribute at a new website, or if you'd rather email or call one of the local LibDem team in the usual way.

The closure of the busy cycle path from Woodhead Drive to Hawkins Road has caused some inconvenience.

I have been unable to persuade the contractors that closing the whole road at once is a bad idea, but they have at least put up diversion signs to help people navigate after requests from me (and others).
