But before you get too ****-a-hoop (silly swear filter!) can I point out that the people who do the gritting are the ones who normally look for and fix potholes ..... so guess what, you're going to have even more of them in the next few days. The weather we are having at present is the prime cause of potholes so everywhere can expect an increased number. Taking these people off their normal duties to do the gritting is standard practice and an acceptable defence in court for the council not repairing potholes as quickly as they might otherwise do.
As above, most likely, but can't say for certain as you're in a different country. There are no issues about how much council tax you pay ..... you are perfectly at liberty to use the roads that are gritted just like anyone else.  |
listen you here to me bubba . If i pay my
taxes i want my road gritted ok !!!!!
