Helperby Walk gritting

John Fareham and John Abbott secured the gritting of Helperby Walk during the recent cold weather.

We had been receiving representations from local residents that this short stretch of pathway was slippery and potentially dangerous and that this was inappropriate for a path used by elderly residents.  I therefore asked for action on what should be a straightforward matter to resolve in terms of staff and resources and received an undertaking that the work would be done. Helperby Walk and parts of Lythe Avenue were then gritted.  It goes without saying that we will take seriously any need for the work to be done again if we get any more bad weather in the weeks ahead.
