ICE RINK SCHOOLS


I am battling away at the moment to try and persuade the Councils Transportation department to either grit roads near schools more effectively or to at least put more grit bins on roads near schools.
They do not seem to understand that in icy conditions roads near schools can because of the amount of cars using them. turn into an ice rink. Pavements near to schools also need more grit on them to prevent those also becoming sheets of ice.
Glenmead school) (Glenmead Road) is a typical example. It is near a tight bend, the carriage way is one of those badly maintained concrete ones and the whole area can turn into a sheet of ice.
This is clearly dangerous and needs sorting out.
I will continue to get our Transportation department to see sense.
