Shouldn't this thead be in discussion time?
This country makes me laugh. Every year we get snow and every year the country panics.
Where I'm from it snows every year and the roads and paths are cleared in a blink of an eye.

All the talk of getting prosecuted if you clear a path and someone has a accident is nonsense....the latest Government advice is that as long as you are taking action and attempting to improve the situation and havent done anything silly like pouring water onto the ice to melt it (which would then refreeze!) then you shouldnt worry about being prosecuted for being neighbourly.

I have a friend who works in the Council Highways dept and it genuinely causes problems when people irresponsibly and selfishly take grit from grit bins. Please think and be responsible before doing this...as the grit may be needed for when it gets REALLY bad...winter has only just started!

The grit bins are there for highways and pavements and are usually put in places wheer there are steep slopes or public buildings nearby, like schools or health centres.

Thanks, wasnt meant to be a rant but I know what problems this caused for their department last year.

so being serious now i leave my house in the morning to go to work (the house i pay COUNCIL TAX ON)i drive my car to work(the car i pay ROAD FUND LICENCE ON) and fill with petrol(80%TAX ON)
the problem is where i live the road is on a slope so i think that entitles me and neighbours to use grit bins
if council or any do gooders think i am breaking the law by stealing grit

TOUGH !!!!!!:D

My local council has given out an email address if you want a free bag of grit, yes I know I've already paid for it in my council tax, but I thought this was a very good idea.
