A new direction for Bury South

Whilst questions were being asked last night at the full Council Meeting at Bury Town Hall about the lack of grit Ofgem today announced their concern about the lack of energy which may mean us facing power cuts for the first time in 30 years.  The full report can be read here,  This is a devastating verdict on Labour’s 13 years of neglect of Britain’s energy security.  Labour has buried its head in the sand, rather than produce an energy policy during its time in office.  It is a sign of desperation that the regulator, which is supposed to execute Government policy, is having to urge the Government to adopt a policy for energy.

The response to the query about the grit is that we are being rationed by the Government who is this instance also did not ensure that enough supplies were available.  No grit bins in the borough of Bury are to be refilled in the foreseeable future.  As you can imagine I have received many, many requests from residents asking for a grit bin or at least for theirs to be refilled as it is often impossible for them to get out of their road, sometimes even on foot.  Yesterday’s snow quickly melted but some of the pavements were still icy today. I am sure we have not seen the last of the snow and ice for this winter.
