Gritting the roads and cars going over the gritted roads helped keep it clear.
unfortunately grit and salt only works if cars move over it. If snow settles on it, it isn't much use.

I walked into town today at around 16.00 and there was no evidence of effective road gritting on my route. Much of the pathways in the town centre were not cleared. WBC had loads of notice but failed to act upon it.
WBC should leave the green spaces as they are because they can't cope with the roads and paths they have now!
