Dave Hedgehog Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 I don't think they had even gritted the road by Ballabeg which is now shut after multiple crashes this morning It has been perilous for days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought you had left the island in disgust, which is why I asked if your concern was about grit here or wherever you are. Apologies if I got that wrong and you are still on the island. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are not driving to the conditions (that’s what the police would say). A lot of the roads haven’t been gritted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
