Then the only ones to blame will be KMC highways dept.
Just driven on what I would call major routes, Penistone Rd, Wakefield Rd, Ring Rd, New Hey Rd and decided to turn round because by the time I get back the same roads will be iced over and treacherous...
Reason I say that is, even after less snow than forecast fell overnight, them roads above are in virtually the same condition as they were 24 hours ago when the snow was thumping down.
Spoke to KMC to lodge a complaint and got soft soap, wouldn't tell me how many gritters they have in service at any one time.
I suppose living in a Town near the edge of the Pennines and with the highest motorway in England you can forgive them for only getting a couple of bags of rock salt in every winter.
Was told they were focusing on major routes when I phoned and explained side roads were less of a priority. I bloody understand that, so why are the major routes in and out of town so crap?
4 star council, my arse...
Just jumping on the media bandwagon to save a bit of dosh in overtime for gritter drivers...
Jesus, I'm pi**ed off with 'em, bunch of clowns.
Feel free for any KMC workers on here to defend this, I'd love to hear your side of things....
