Snow joke on untreated surfaces
• CAN someone please explain why Camden Council “hibernates” at the first sign of snow?
Maybe its staff cannot get to work due to the road/pavement conditions; it’s not as though they were taken by surprise – the adverse weather conditions were forecast well in advance.
Pavements, roads, housing estates become death traps completely ignored by Camden. Residents are left to the mercy of these untreated surfaces.
Not only does its failure to treat these areas make life dangerous for pedestrians it also impedes the work of the emergency services, compromising the health and safety of all.
Camden is quick enough to hold out its hands for our community charges, and even quicker at getting rid of our caretakers who, until now, have helped maintain estates’ communal areas by spreading the salt.
Camden are going backwards in time rather than forwards.
