| Comment | I've just had this conversation with my partner. She had fell into the mob outrage from Facebook and was banging on about the council not gritting the pavements and she was absolutely flabbergasted when I asked when did people stop gritting their own wee bit in front of their house out of the yellow bins? It used to be a case of if I did the wee bit in front of my house and my neighbour did the bit in front of his and you do the bit in front of yours and all the shopkeepers did the bit in front of their shops then the whole pavement network would get done.
And if the yellow bin is empty you can also go get salt from the depots. I can't think of where they all are, but I've collected salt before from the Riddrie Depot just at Jessie's Bridge.
As I just said to her, just because we pay council tax doesn't mean the council have to do the thing for you, but they provide the stuff for free to do it yourself. |
