COUNCIL: The car park at Rosebery Place has been gritted

AS a shortage of grit for Clydebank's icy roads remained "critical" there has been anger after council officials found enough to treat their employee car parks.

West Dunbartonshire Council is being forced to ration its grit and was left with just enough for "one more treatment" of main roads at the time of going to print yesterday (Tuesday).

The situation has provoked accusations that the council has got its priorities wrong.

With the prospect of adequate supplies being replenished still uncertain, secondary roads, residential areas and footpaths are being left in treacherous condition.

Public grit bins are not even being stocked.

As pavements were left covered in snow, on top of days-old ice, one woman had to be taken to hospital after she slipped under a bus at a stop on Tuesday morning.

The elderly resident was helped by passers-by and treated at the scene after the difficult conditions caused her to fall and become trapped under the stationary vehicle on Kilbowie Road.
