I remember years ago living with my mum that each house would clear there part of the path religiously every year . then what would happen is the house would actually join with next doors cleared pathway . If there was a elderly person you would always do there's as well.
Getting onto the gritting side of things , how's this they gritted a path up here which is very nice but its the side that only runs for about 100m then runs out. But the funniest thing is that path NO ONE ever uses!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The longer path which is on quite a decline towards the road and on a weird angle they left!! Still hats off to them at least they have gritted up here on the roads at least. We have lived up here for 12yrs and this is the first time that we have ever had a gritter up here.
