Quote of the week

Life isn't about finding yourself, it is about creating yourself'

If you cannot mould yourself entirely as you would wish, how can you expect other people to be entirely to your liking?

More True Gritting News from Babergh/MSDC



Sue Herne (not pictured!)has sent the message below.  Read to the bottom if you are interested in setting up winter gritting activities in your area.

'We have some more wintry weather on the way this week just showers today and tomorrow– not too much in terms of laying snow, but some cold temperatures come back in with an artic wind from Wednesday.  This is likely to result in icy conditions, especially on any untreated roads.

It would be a good idea to check your grit levels and if these are low, requesting a top up as soon as possible in preparedness for the later part of the week.  Call 0845 6066067 to request your grit top ups.  You can check for any weather alerts via the link below.

If any of you have any articles/stories to share from your experiences during the recent snow & ice please let me have them by the end of this month so that they can be incorporated into the next community resilience newsletter.

Can I also remind you that we have a few places left on the social media work shop which is open to any community volunteers involved in winter gritting teams, community plan writing/implementation or people actively seeking to start something up in their Parish.  I will be starting to allocate places towards the end of this week.

If any of you have any questions regarding the above, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Kind Regards
Sue
