HAVING had such a mild winter last time I find it incredible that a gritting overspend could occur before the really harsh weather finally arrived ('Digging deep', March 1). Surely the budget was totally insufficient to meet even one period of cold weather?
A case, perhaps, of City of York Council raiding the gritting budget for other projects where it has overspent only to find itself caught out by what normally happens in winter. It snows.
