The hill has been gritted again thanks to the two Andy’s – B and H. Conditions are bad so we are very grateful to both of them for going out on such an unpleasant evening. Although it has been done, there’s still a lot of snow on the hill, just tracks in places and the temp has already dropped below zero and is forecast to be below until well into tomorrow morning. It will need a lot of care until the temps finally rise – 14/15 degrees at the w/e!, please be careful until then. Anne Mayes

Gritting Update – Wed 20 Nov
The hill has been gritted again and again our grateful thanks go to Andy H and an unnamed “volunteer” as no one else was available to help Andy. For safety and other reasons no one goes out on their own.
There is a small chance that Highways may do a run late tomorrow morning if they think conditions are bad enough. Anne Mayes

An early start to winter but Andy H and Dave have been out with the gritter to do the hill and our grateful thanks go to them both. They in turn wished to thank the drivers they encountered who were helpful and considerate.
The road is wet, there’s run off, so do, please, if you’re out first thing, take it easy. Anne Mayes

Gritting Update – 7 May
No, not our Snow Team going out, looks as if it will be a different gritting team tomorrow, or the next day, or the day after. I just wanted to say that winter is now officially over ( source: DCC Highways) and I would like to thank publically our Snow Team who’ve been on stand by from last October to go out with the gritter and keep the hill open. We’re very grateful to them all for giving up their time and to everyone involved in storage, cleaning and maintenance. Fingers crossed that everyone will be willing to help out next winter. Anne

Gritting Update – Tues 5 March
Temperature dropping this evening and the road is damp so Andy H and a mystery AN Other have been out to grit. Our grateful thanks to them for that. We did struggle with availability tonight – we can’t always assume that people are available. Any extra hands would be welcome, please let the Clerk know of you could help. Fortunately temps rise again tomorrow morning and look that way for a while. Anne
