February 20, 2001 10:08: I FELT very angry when I read Cllr Nigel Vickery's report about inadequate road gritting.

I wonder if he would like to join the team of drivers and risk his neck, as they do constantly, to do this thankless task.

Very often they are called out once, if not twice a night to make the roads as safe as possible. Their day often starts at 3am when most of the public, including Cllr Vickery, are nice and warm, dreaming of what they can moan about.

If people drove to the weather conditions many accidents could be avoided.
