one thing that really REALLY enraged me on Saturday night after we had about 4 inches was the incosistancy between different councils.
I live about 1.5 miles from the border of West Yorkshire and Lancashire. Having come over a very twisty, fairly trecherous road (should it be left untouched after snow) that had been PERFECTLY cleared, even wide open throttle in 2nd at 40 resulted in no wheel spin, as i descended down the other side of the hill, I came to the "Welcome to Lancashire" sign. At this point, there is a side road big enough for a gritter to turn around, and you can see its tyre treads and and almost perfect line on the border of black tarmac on the West Yorks side and white snow/ice. On the lancashire side of the border. Crossing this line it was wheel spin at 1100rpm in 4th at 5mph type conditions, despite it being one of the main routes in and out of the town.
I thought perhaps they just havnt got to this part yet, but when i got into the town centre, it was also chaos, cars sliding everywhere, even a day later the conditions are now frozen slushy ice, where as back over that border into west yorkshire you can still see where the gritter has turned around, and the road conditions go back to being spot on!
What excuse can the rossendale borough council have for such ineptness when the council on the east of them have managed to absolutely nail it?
