. Of course we could prepare for these conditions every year, have dozens of unused gritters sitting around for 20 years until they might be needed, hire additional staff just in case and add £50 to your council tax to pay for it all?

sitting around gritters cost nowt to run.
we could use the present workforce to stockpile even more grit/sand in summer instead of doing what seem to be unecessary tasks (like watering hanging baskets to keep em occupied)...again no extra cost.
and we have just paid the bin men 3 weeks wages for about 2 days work....so the extra temp staff (see previous post) would more than make up for it without having to add to the council tax bills.
and the wigan economy would benefit by people being able to shop in shops that the shop workers could get to.'"

And the council won a fleet of extra gritters in a charity tombola i suppose?
