LETTER: County council does sterling job of gritting
Gritting Lancashire’s roads, to make them as safe as we can during the winter, is a responsibility which the County Council takes very seriously.
In winter, we monitor weather conditions around the clock so we can react promptly to forecasts of ice and snow.

Claims that roads haven’t been gritted when they actually have only obscure the crucial safety message that gritting is not a miracle cure and motorists should always adapt their driving to suit the prevailing road conditions.
