Randy Pausch's last lecture

Take ten minutes to look at this, consider watching the whole lecture. You will not regret it.

Snow Queen updated

Whilst coverage of trunk roads continued to be limited, a dedicated team of council employees of up to 300, went out into Town Centres working, to clear ice and snow from high streets and footpaths.

Waste collection and recycling was restricted, as Refuse vehicles struggled to access estates and side roads, due to ice, snow and abandoned cars.

The pantomime at Pontefract Town Hall was absolutely excellent!!

I wonder what they will pick for 2011.

The Snow Queen arrives..Stage left.

In picking the Snow Queen as pantomime for the 2010 performance The St Giles Pantomime Society showed an unerring gift for predicting one of the most extreme and extended periods of severe weather that the district has experienced in years.

We saw snow and we saw ice and we had ice and snow. The 2008 and 2009 decisions to reduce the overall coverage of roads in the gritting plan by 120 kms and six gritting vehicles from nineteen to thirteen meant that a number of people could not get to work, schools closed and small business people who deliver had huge problems. Central government stepped in to dictate where the supplies of grit should go linked to concerns that supplies needed to be regulated as the salt mines struggled to keep up.
