As we are now coming out of our second week of snow, I am very angry at the condition of the roads and pavements which are not considered priorities by Essex County Council.
I phoned the county to inform it that my wife and I had cleared some or the pavement outside our house, despite being pensioners.
The gentleman I spoke to said only A and B roads were salted, but as we were then into day seven of the snow, I assume all these roads had been done.
Could we not return to the situation of several years ago, when Basildon Council salted local areas?
This was much more efficient.
