u cant win with us if we had warehouses full of salt and we got a mild winter we would be complaining of the cost of renting warehouses etc to store it. We have to ship in the salt so
we have to take an estimate we cant order it today and have it tomorrow. This is shaping
up to be the coldest December on record so in fairness councils and corporations have finite resources so decisions have to be taken, do u put alot of resources into preparing for something
that is a extraordinary event for this country ,taking money away from maintaince for roads
water etc for rest of the year. When forward planning budgets etc u have to look at value
for money, would it be wise to invest alot of money in specialised equipement to be used
for maybe a couple of days every few years.
As for the legal issue that has been resolved u are not responsible if somebody slips on a pathway u have cleared
