Pittidrie Pavements Icey Conditions

[FifeHibs]

Just a quick heads up that some of the pavements around Pittodrie are still very icey.

Council for whatever reason are refusing to grit the pavements so the Police are going round in a van and gritting them.

The entire city was like a skating rink. Not one pavement gritted. Don't know what the **** is going on with the council. Almost came a cropper several times - and that's without a drink in me.

What's going on up there ?

The city centre was the same.

There was a downhill section enroute back to city centre that was so treacherous most walked on the road. I opted to slide, so some fun was to be had on an otherwise forgettable afternoon.

Think I seen someone on Twitter complaining about slipping and breaking her arm after the game the other day.
Was ridiculous. Trying to get from Easter road to lochend and every one was sliding all over the place, seen 3 people slipping and my feet almost went from under me but managed to grab onto the fence. Car was sliding on the black ice. Council should've had all the areas around the ground gritted.

If that was you I saw sliding it was pretty impressive.

Councils have had their budgets cut by forty per cent since 2010. Austerity in action.

[Fuzzywuzzy]

Still, at least we have 20mph rolled out.....😂😂

It’s really unfortunate if anyone falls.

However, if they strived a bit more, they could buy their own salt that they could use.

You have heard of this thing called Austerity?

Remember the country voted for it in 2010, 2015 and again in 2017.

Things like that are the consequence of council budgets being pillaged.

Haha, beat me to it.

Pianist gets his fingers broken by a gangster and people complain that the pianist can’t play piano very well. Well who’d have thunk it?

Cause and effect of an ideology of small state in action.

Quite!
Another absurd vanity project

[wookie70]

Some amazing facts and figures in their accounts. When you look at spending on roads which I presume covers pavements it isn't surprising that they have abandoned gritting on all but major routes. If you don't get a broken leg getting to and from the tram you will be fine. Whilst austerity has played a part the Tram project must be one of the big reasons for lack of investment elsewhere. To be fair the trams are making a profit earlier than expected. It will take around 3000 years at £250K profit per year to pay back that investment though not counting taxes and interest. Now that is what you call a vanity project!

Makes you wonder why you pay council tax.

Oh I love the smell of patronising in the morning... Yes, I'm well aware of austerity, friend, although you may have voted for it in Bristol, we didn't up here.

Were you in Aberdeen yesterday? It's not that a few roads and pavements weren't gritted - nothing whatsoever had been gritted. People couldn't walk. I saw one guy being rescued from a pavement by a policeman, and I presume all elderly people were hiding indoors.

And I'm well aware of different levels of austerity measures, and the cuts in local authorities' budgets - some of it is relevant to my job. But I am talking about the scale of the issue - in a place like Aberdeen, to have done nothing whatsoever across the whole city, was astonishing.

I ended up on my chorus on the way home on Wed night, hopefully nobody saw it! :-)

Pavements were that bad on Wednesday, we walked up the road all the way to Lochend roundabout.

When you have a British Nationalist coalition in charge at the council it's all you can expect.

Im sure I wasn't the only one to take the opportunity, but maybe one of the few my age.. If it was a 47 year old sporting a Parka and cap it would have been me.
My wife was in Aberdeen city centre with the kids and she was lamenting the poor state of the pavements even round about there on one of the busiest weekends of the year.

That's actually shocking, and it's the most vulnerable, kids and the elderly, who are most likely to suffer.
