, which is responsible for maintaining the UK’s motorways, said it deployed up to 25 gritters at one time on the M25, spreading 960 tonnes of salt and over 18,000 litres of anti-freeze.
Helen Morgan MP, a Liberal Democrat spokesperson for local government, suggested the underfunding of councils could lead to the breakdown of local services this winter. “Too many councils across the country are cash-strapped and don’t have the reserves to step up during a crisis. “Its ordinary people who are paying the price for their failures. If the Government had listed to the LGA and planned for winter gritting, the country wouldn’t be grinding to a halt after a normal winter’s night.
