Although it's classed in the Haringey gritting list as Priority 1. Although I've emailed LibDem councillors, who've forwarded my emails onto to Environmental/gritting dpts and the senior complaints officer. Hopefully it does not snow again over-night.

If that is the case - then I will check all the roads that people have sent into me (loads and loads) against that priority list on the Haringey website - because if they aren't even doing the priority 1 roads - that is beyond the pale. I had assumed that their priority 1 and priority 2 roads were done - and it was about planning and helping the side roads. But clearly not. If the snow does come again this week - we should keep a watch on which roads are done at what stage. Sally – thanks for that – well spotted.

Although I hope that if there is more snow or ice this winter that the gritting dpt will do their said job. I'm cynical so I doubt it.

And thanks to all who have given details. I also emailed my list to ask about situation road to road. I will report all the individual roads brought to my attention. I've suggested to Robert Gorrie (LibDem Group council leader - and hopefully after next elections in May - Council Leader) that we need a plan both for what the Council can do in terms of side roads, but also what we can do as a community (if given the material) to help ourselves. More of this later. Catrina – well done. And thanks to all who have given details. I also emailed my list to ask about situation road to road.

A couple of years ago we were supplied with much needed salt bins. Unfortunately these are not filled with salt! I requested salt for them on the 18th December and was advised by our estate services manager that salt had been ordered but the bins are still empty and I understand that we can expect more icy conditions next week. The gritters did come to us on the 23rd December, and from an email I received, this was organised by Kieron King, Street Cleaning Manager for Enterprise, kieron.king@enterprise.plc.uk and Chris Collings, Contract Monitoring Manager, Environmental Resources, chris.collings@haringey.gov.uk.

Also the pavements are treacherous to walking or skating specially since the kerbs are more like ice rinks.

There were grit bins dotted around the estates which were filled in November. If it snowed, you got up of your backside and gritted the paths and roads around your house and your neighbours houses. Cost effective, responsive and efficient. I grew up in the north of the UK. There were grit bins dotted around the estates which were filled in November.
