I've just looked at the piece on the LT website. That's saying that people can apply for free delivery of the said grit for use on quote '...private pathways and driveways..'.

Eh? Whats going on here? Is this right? if so, Ken, why didn't you mention this bit earlier? If it is right, this is highly discriminatory. It means that those people living in Hyndburn in a two-up-two-down access direct from the street are not going to be legible for this hand out; the people who will get it will be the better off living in detached or semi's with a drive or pathway - people who can most afford it.

If this ain't blatant electoral bribary, I don't know what is; it is certainly against the concept of universal provision for local services and as such may well be illegal. Get on it, Ken.
