MAY I express my utter amazement at the attitude of Oxfordshire County Council, regarding snow clearance.
Yet again we saw the health and safety regulations being blamed for utter negligence and shortfall in planning, when necessary work was not carried out.
The case of the farmer Christopher Lewis, who farms in the Wantage area, was a perfect example of this.
But, I suppose, it is much easier to throw your arms up in the air and shout: ‘You can’t do that because of health and safety’, than it is to go out in the cold and start work.
Besides, the council taxpayer will foot the bill and pay the cost.
