Ye. We use something called ice melt, melt's ice twice as quick as normal road salt and its quite cheap too.

[dazmond]

We carry floor squeegees for excess water then salt the path.

Only takes a minute.

im a wimp if its icey i never go out lol  my body hates the cold  but having no car/van this week i had to walk and if i had salt today i would of done the paths, some kids going up the steep hill will get hurt and to make matters worse they cant see danger, going down the hill on scooters lol

[darren clarke]

no it is my second dazmond,  i try to not to use a load of water on paths,  if any thing i will leave the door or do with a cloth   depending on how cold it is,  but in my eyes u r admiting liabiality if some one falls,  as if they sue all the laywers will say is  ur must of knew it was dangerous by putting salt down


its like xmas,  some will work up to xmas eve,  i stop around the 15 as spend all year saving up so i can have some time off when the weather is really bad

If you grit a path the owner of the property will be liable

[Dave Anderson]

I do salt the odd path and the odd flat roof...mainly for my own safety...

[clearlyclean]

where in manchester are you Dazmond,Mate skidded on some Ice in whalley range yesterday morning.Today I offered to salt paths but most declined.

You’re admitting liability by putting salt down.

Tripe surpassing even your best efforts, Ewan.

Its law dickhead

Touched a nerve, Ewan?  Trolling not the fun it used to be?

Vin

[Perfect Windows]

No, just a normal reaction to, complete stupidity.

Preserving this before you delete your post.

You’re admitting liability by putting salt down.

IMO then by the same reasoning, you are admitting liability for a trip hazard if you put warning signs/cones up - and the Government is admitting liability for making a road with a sharp bend by putting a warning sign up as well.
I always ask permission off the home owner before salting paths as some are blaming salt for damaging their paving. If someone slips on a frozen path, how do they know it was your water to blame - how can they tell the difference between your water and rain water?

what has happened to ewan posts,?

[mci services]

We went through all this last year and the year before.

Last year I posted links that say if you cause a risk you should minimize that risk through the use of salt etc. or take away the risk and Trad it if safe to do so.

I am not searching again.

I also posted a link that say's the house owner has a duty of care to make safe access for tradesmen visiting their property's

what has happened to ewan posts,?

He posts, argues, then deletes, as people in the past looked through his old posts and noticed gross self-contradiction.  If you're interested enough to highlight the crass nature of most of his rants, please do remember to quote his words or the thread becomes unreadable when he self-censors.

He's just a typical internet troll; I do try to ignore him but when he posts cretinous factual inaccuracies like the one above, it's worth pointing it out in case anyone's taken in by it.  The problem is that he posts positively ludicrous advice sometimes but couches it in terms such that people might believe him.

Many people on here believe that he's not even a windy.  Evidence has been requested, but I believe he's never posted any at all.

If you go to Wickes they sell sacks of road grit but get it now before a big freeze comes otherwise it will be all gone.

Or it could be dickheads like you, are unable to read what’s written without putting your own spin on it.

I originally posted my opinion in a single sentence. You’re a troll dickhead, not me look at the rant you are having now.

Just saving his post.  I really do seem to be touching a raw nerve today...
