Helperby Walk grittng

John Fareham and John Abbott have secured undertakings that, in the event of snow and ice this winter, Helperby Walk will be included in the council’s annual schedule of gritting works. At the October 2015 meeting of Wyke Area Committee, the list of streets scheduled for gritting was brought to Committee for consideration. We both noticed that we had had on occasion in the past to refer the question of whether Helperby Walk was to be gritted to the officers when the pathway was so encrusted with snow and ice as to be absolutely perilous to walk on. After some discussion it was agreed that the problem lay with Helperby Walk having been inadvertently left off the list of streets to be done in the past, and the officers agreed to make sure that it was on the list to be done in the future.
