WELL there's a surprise. The gritter went along Cannop Road and down the bottom end of Parkend but, what a shock, it didn't grit the main hill yet again.

What's the matter with the man in charge? Does he only use the Cannop Road to get to work?

The last time I looked this was a main road so why wasn't it gritted? In the last lot of snow I couldn't even get my car onto the main road until at least 10am. Please get the priorities right. We don't all own posh company cars, some of us struggle to keep an old banger on the road.
