Government Fails on Grit

Christopher Pincher says Staffordshire roads are more dangerous thanks to government complacency

Tamworth’s Conservative Parliamentary Spokesman, Christopher Pincher, this week criticised government complacency after icy conditions gripped local roads and saw many become ice rinks.

The prolonged cold spell has seen local grit reserves run low with the result that only A & B roads will be targeted for gritting. Most side roads will be left unsalted.
