Council gritter in action
- 29 January 2009 22:5914296no cheap comments please!!
1830 hours and a sita flat bed truck with all lights flashing came past dispensing grit onto the roads.
the forecast is a cold snap but not snow, full marks to the sitapersons for not taking a chance.
i have to say that some of our local motorists did not do themselves justice though.
emergency lit vehicle and a chap with high viz jacket on the end proffering to the car behind a shovel full of grit.
fairly obvious what point he was trying to to make, eventually the car turned right leaving him the chance to dump the grit, within seconds another car is right on the tailgate of the sita truck.!!! - 29 January 2009 23:0114297The do our little road nearly every time the temperature has dropped recently which is helpful
Snow forecast for Monday though

Vic M - 30 January 2009 08:4814311Yes it seems there is a possibility of some snow and/or ice this weekend. Ive seen the gritters out in action all through the current winter and as said above they really are brilliant nowadays and well on top of the job. Once upon a time the gritter situation used to be hopelessly haphazard and sporadic but nowadays its very good indeed. One of the success stories.

Another success story
