True Grit

Living on a main road does have some advantages. While it’s always noisy and there’s traffic going past and it takes ages to pull put of your drive; your road is always kept in a good state of repair. In wintery conditions you don’t even need to grit it yourself; you can guarantee that if the council’s got the budget for it; the grit truck will roll out in the early evening to keep the roads open and the buses moving so that business can continue and people can get to where they’re needed. But in a close you’ve got diddly squat apart from a plastic yellow box that the council fills once a year. It takes a true community to work together and clear these roads. I suppose it’s partly to stop nutters from trying to get up the hill in the first place and skid into someone’s drive.
