Complaints over lack of gritting
DUP MP David Simpson has hit out at the lack of gritting particularly in the town centres and car parks over this most recent snap of cold weather.
Having received a number of complaints, David Simpson said: “this most recent snap of cold weather has not caught Road Service unawares, in fact it has been forecast for many days. I have written to Minister Kennedy in this regard because ultimately I believe he needs to take responsibility for ensuring pedestrians safety whilst on the roads, on footways and in public car parks. I believe it is unacceptable to say it would cost too much to grit the car parks and town centres.”
