It's a shame that our local councillors only get off their rear ends and make contact with voters at election time, but when WE need them to represent us and put pressure on the highways department to include gritting these roads that become severely dangerous during such intense periods of weather, we don't see hide nor heal of them.

That's aimed squarely at the Labour, Conservative and Lib Dems councillors, somehow I can't see you responding to this. When election day comes, you'll get reminded why people won't be voting for you!!!!!!
