Alex,

I think we need more than a performance review to be honest- we need identify the areas which are likely to be icy during bad conditions and we need a winter strategy for the Forest Hill area as well as hilly areas such as Brockley View and Telegraph Hill in the rest of the borough. I can't really see the point of individuals informing you of icy stretches- it should surely be a matter of record enabling prompt and targetted treatment.

I would also like to know more about the Councils gritting budget, how decisions are made, and any scope for community assistance. Can we not have dropped off grit to put on the pavements ourselves.

Taking back what I said earlier in self interest- the bottom half of Ewelme Road is very bad on the corner with Woodcombe Crescent as this seems to take forever to thaw out.

best wishes
