A question to Councillors

Councillors:

Prior to the bad weather what did ye do to ascertain if your Local Authority was ready for bad winter weather ?

Did you contact your Roads manager and establish if there were sufficient stocks of material on hand ?

Did you contact your Finance officer to see if there was overtime budget available ?

When you saw the forecasts for bad weather did you ring the relevant people in your authority and ask if they were going to be going out gritting ?

Did you keep your constituents up to date with what was happening ?

Or did you wait until you awoke out of your post-Christmas slumber and caught up with the events as noted in the indo ?
