We are now being told that the maps that the County Council produced showing which roads will not be gritted when bad weather is forecast are inaccurate and that the road from Weston to Halls Green should not be shown as not to be gritted in future.

What is not clear is what the extent of the errors are, so it is now not clear which roads will not be gritted – although we do know that there are nearly 50km of them across the county.

Let’s hope that these are not the maps that have been given to the people who actually drive the gritting lorries!
