"So, where were the gritters?" (Argus, December 29). A good question!
All through the summer, the grit bin at the bottom of Warnham Rise leading into Birchgrove Crescent (three of the worst hills in this area) was full. On the night of the snow it was completely emptied, leaving us with nothing, even to grit the roads ourselves.
We accept we are the poor relations when it comes to our roads being gritted by Brighton and Hove Council - they never venture up here - but we could have been left the tools to do it with. We have to work as well!
