Cabbie754 Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Let's talk about the expectations of the ordinary person out there as far as clearing away the snow from our roads. Do councils do enough? are peoples expectations too much? Should people do more, be community spirited by getting stuck into pavement clearing rather than expect the council to do it. Thoughts please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thoughts please Good point. I think we ask to much of the council and not enough of ourselves. Just tonight as I was walking home there was a young woman in a car that was struggling to get moving. Needless to say that me being the gentleman that I am, I helped the young lady out by pushing the car. Eventually she was able to get free. It's the little things like this that make us feel good about oursleves for being so unselfish. Needless to say that if it had been a munter i would have told her to go and do one. Only joking!

Well done Rosco. I was visiting Newbridge last night and someone had cleared the snow from their driveway and dumped it on the pavement, not at the side but the whole width of the pavement, two big piles that I had to climb over. Unbelievable and they expect the council to come along and clear the pavement! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievable and they expect the council to come along and clear the pavement! Some people are just incredible. Saw one guy clearing around his car throwing it on the pavement. then you get the people that steal grit out the yellow buckets left by the council for the roads.

Their attitude "not my problem I don't have a car"! The council came round and filled up a couple of grit bins near me today so I was out with my shovel gritting some pavements near me.

A lot of people now a days lack the sense of community and helping each other, they have had it all too easy and expect everything for nothing.

Toronto Jambo Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 The council came round and filled up a couple of grit bins near me today so I was out with my shovel gritting some pavements near me. One person said to me " the cooncil should be doing this" why do people have that attitude? Its all about a lack of preparedness. In Toronto we get AT LEAST the amout of snow your getting, but we are prepared. People should be pleased that the council manages to allocate funds like that. Chances are it wasn't even thought of when the budget was put together. I don't know about over there, but where I live, it is required by law that residents shovel the sidewalk infront of their homes unless they are elderly or disabled (in which case either the city have people do it or a friend or family member chips in). The city only takes care of the roads in Toronto (sidewalks too, but only in the city center). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The city only takes care of the roads in Toronto (sidewalks too, but only in the city center). Nobody predicted this amount of snow and temperatures to match. Normally we get a bit snow then it thaws after a day or so but I believe that NYC has the same laws as does Germany and I'm sure many other places. People are required to clear the pavements outside their own property or get fined. This used to be a requirement here but not now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Sifter Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 I'm writing this as I sit on Clark Road, waiting for any jobs that may come out in this area. My system shows that right now there are people looking for cabs in Bruntsfield, Comiston, Shandon and Balerno. Two people want cabs in Comely Bank. Hope I get a fare soon.....
