“After the mess they made of it 2/3 years ago I'm guessing they will be out early tomorrow just in case it arrives early.”

“Looks like we are in for a week of sub zero temperatures starting on Saturday, best they have a good supply of salt or grit.”

“Will the council do the job they are paid for and grit the roads for a change? Seeing as they charge for parking permits (to park on THEIR property), Council tax for services and road tax for road maintenance, surely they have a legally binding duty to keep them in a safe condition or face legal action for neglecting public safety and failure to keep "their" facilities (roads and parking) in a safe condition?”
