“I recently wrote to this page regarding the ice rink known as Melton Road some 2 weeks ago. Some questioned peoples driving ability and speed in such conditions, when the real question was, why did the council not salt the road for motorists driving into the city centre?
Well here we are, the forecasts have predicted poor conditions from midnight tonight through to 8ish Friday morning. Lets see how our roads are !
Yours, the 20 mile an hour in bad weather”
