Proceeding contribution from Lord Hammond of Runnymede (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 2 December 2010. It occurred during Urgent question on Winter Weather.


Winter Weather

I wonder about the hon. Gentleman's commitment to localism. David Quarmby will be looking at the performance of local authorities, but it is for local authorities to decide on their gritting plan, and most local authorities will not choose to grit every residential side road and every footway. That is a decision for them, and it is for local communities to hold local authorities to account for those decisions. Our job is to make sure that local authorities are doing what they are committed to do on the strategic road network.
