Ray Howard, the Castle Point Borough Councillor with responsibility for waste, responding to the comments made by Bob Spink in parliament, says that: “It is totally untrue and unfair to say that the borough council has not prioritised community facilities in its efforts to support the county council’s gritting programme. We have been out there in difficult conditions helping the county council to meet its obligations to keep the major routes open.
“We have been sympathetic and responded to requests to help clear other areas used by the community such as those outside GPs’ surgeries although many are on private property.”
