"On BBC News,
Fife Council are advising not to travel at all because they have run out of salt and grit, again.  "
John Swinney says they're lying yet we saw the empty depot with our own eyes, didn't we? |

"its a mountin bike i use been every were with it its fine for the roads as most roads are clear just the paths that are deadly"
That's a bit like falling off a skyscraper. Quite safe except for the last wee bit. |

That'd be fine were it true but it ain't. The issue is money right enought but it has nothing to do with Westminster. The Council Tax freeze which was agreed (imposed?) by Holyrood was based on previous years where little or no gritting or salting was required leaving local authorities with no money to fund stocks or distribution.

"I seem to remember councils having to buy imported grit etc. last year and the snow wasn't nearly as bad as it is this year. "
I thought the reason it had to be imported was that our roads weren't up to having it distributed by truck. Aberdeen's had a huge delivery by sea this afternoon. |
