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.
