AS a motorist I, too, was absolutley horrified at the driving conditions on the Warrington and district roads. But what happened to the council gritters? Nowhere to be seen. In fact, on making inquiries, I found they were not out gritting the roads.
After telephoning the Highway's Departemt to complain I was asked, "What's black ice?" and "Where was that?" Are Warrington Borough Council having cut backs and putting the responsibility on the police and ambulance services?
The lack of responsibility of Council Highways could have cost somebody's life! How would they have felt then?
MOTORIST,
Howley
