16 December (Part 2) - Street Kings. Not!

Snow SnowNow that my house is above 6 degrees Centigrade I could welcome my regular Friday guest from Bromley. On arrival she remarked on the state of the road. “Hasn’t anyone been out to clear it, my road (hidden beyond a warren of small residential roads) is entirely clear?”

I reminded her that she was in Bexley (the most highly taxed Conservative borough in London) which answered all the questions.

Not cleaning roads of snow has repercussions beyond filling A&E Departments, the dustmen cannot get around to empty the bins. Perhaps they have been diverted to gritting bus routes. Perhaps Councillor Craske is more interested in cans of Coke than ensuring public safety?

The lorry park which is Coptefield Drive has benefitted slightly from the rail strike but instead become impassable because of engines that refuse to start. No one could get on to the main highway for about an hour this morning.

There was a 4x4 parked on the footpath too but it is not pictured here because it may have been a genuine mistake. With all that snow and ice would the driver have known?
