You may have noticed that it's a bit like winter outside.
Cue lots of questions about "Why isn't my road gritted", etc...
Some info on roads that will be gritted:

In previous years I've also seen the gritters pay visits to the estate roads when the major routes have been cleared.
Remember that road salt is only effective to certain temperatures (which is why they don't use it in the alps) and that falling snow washes the salt away meaning it needs to be re-spread.
Please drive carefully, unlike most of the people I have seen out today who didn't seem to have a clue about car control in slippy conditions.
Welcome to my blog.
I was elected as Councillor for Macclesfield West in May 2008. I live in the centre of the ward with my Wife and Westie, and when I'm not a Councillor I'm a Scout Leader and I run a small consultancy business.
I'm equally at home cycling around the town as I am walking the dog up Shutlingsloe – Macclesfield is one of the few places that can provide this town and country balance.
This blog is intended to give the residents of Macclesfield West an insight into the work that I am doing on their behalf. This could be better services and facilities for children and young people, or perhaps trying to achieve a better plan for the Macclesfield Town Centre redevelopment. At all times I'm keen on reducing costs and keeping council tax as low as possible.
The blog is intended to be little lighthearted at times, perhaps irreverent but never irrelevant. You're encouraged to comment on each post and have your say - it's a great way to debate the issues of the day.
How can I contact the Council?
