Cold Weather

The cold weather we have been experiencing recently can be viewed in two different ways.

Children love going out to play in it, making snowmen, sledging and throwing snowballs.

There are others that are trapped at home due to the fact that the area where they live is not gritted and it is not safe for them to venture out.

This can affect people of all ages. Mothers fearing to take a young baby out a in a pram. A young girl being prevented from walking up a hill that has not been gritted and has no pavement either side so is unsafe to walk on. The elderly fear of slipping over whether they walk with the aid of a stick or not. Then there is the young disabled who once cold cannot warm up for a long while and this aggravates their health conditions.

So many people stay at home from harms way to prevent ending up in accident and emergency.
