It is early January and a friend with three children phoned me up and described amongst other things how her street- Osborne terrace had not been gritted , seriously restricting her movement around town with three children under five in tow.
The inability of many councils to grit side roads during the ‘big freeze ‘was a common occurrence. Get in touch if you had a particularly bad experience on your road and I will speak with the Gateshead council on your behalf. Winter is not over yet and it could happen again!
