We have had plenty of warnings about the expected weather and Stockport MBC will have the gritters all standing by. So don't worry all you have to do is contact street scene at MBC and they will give you value for money and make sure granny does not slip and break her hip on the ice. Because your little side road is just as important as anybody else's and it will be gritted........wont it!....?
I am going to email them now, so i can safely move my car in the morning

Streetscene currently have a fleet of 9 Gritters, all of which are less than two years old.
All the Gritters are fitted with a computerised GPS tracking system, which provides Streetscene with precise information on which routes have been gritted, when they were gritted, by which vehicle and the spread rates being used.
This information enables the Streetscene team to manage the gritting process even more effectively. The Gritting vehicles can also be fitted with snow ploughs if required.
A weather sensor and computer link-up to Manchester Weather Centre enable us to plan for gritting and snow clearance, as part of routine preparation for hazardous weather conditions.
Icy paths, walkways and car parks can prove to be extremely dangerous. Accidents can be prevented, by making sure your property is safely gritted.

It was forecast in the national press 2 weeks ago.
I sent my email request at midnight last night, saying how dangerous my  rd was, what happened...nothing, no reply and no gritters.
The Tory's would not put up with this!

? How on Earth must those poor little darlings in Scandanavia go on, no school for half the year at least! Another thing, All Saints' Primary School was open today, does this mean under 11's are more expendable? It appears to me that as far as Marple Hall School is concerned it's just any excuse for a skive or perhaps the Head Teacher has shares in Hollins Building Supplies Sledge Department.
When I come back in another life it's definitely a teachers job for me!!!!!

Are you a teacher?
That's the same attitude as our liberal judges employ when they say things such as "We shouldn't lock up young muggers" and vandalism and anti-social behaviour only happen because the poor little things are bored! A lowering of standards whereby only those who think they can do as they wish prosper.
Come the revolution........

My son is in year seven at Marple Hall, but speaking to some of the parents at primary school to pick my other son up, it appeared quite alot of these children from Marple hall had been left at home for the day.
My friend took on a couple of her daughters friends for the day, as they were going to be left on their own.
I am fortunate enough that I have parents close by and they looked after my son for me, other than that, he would have come to work with me or I would have taken the day off, he is a mature child and "probably" would have been fine on his own, but there is always a but!!
I know some people say, what is the difference between a child being left at home on their own, and playing out on their own??
Where does the law stand on this, at what age can you leave a child on their own??

No i'm not a teacher, but do work in a school ( it stayed open before you ask, so I didn't get a day off! )
I didn't mean to offend anyone by my remark.
My son is 15 and old enough to stay on his own, so I was lucky! Racheal I think they can be left at 14.
