See now this is one of those cases where people should know that icy conditions means there'll be ice about.
I had a thought a minute ago. I remember in Germany (or might have been Czech republic) don't use salt/grit because of the environmental impact.
What do they do and why aren't we doing that?

You are dammed if you do dammed if you don't. We were told by our H&S and insurance people that there has been no cases where people who
have cleared snow off paths have been taken to court and lost.
Common sense is that communities should work together in times like this. young people looking after old ones clearing their paths, neighbours helping
clear the road we always used to do it before we became a nation in fear of the "personal injury lawyers" who are single handedly
responsible for increases in everyones premiums. I have no issue with your wife, but the system where every bump is a claim. Every driver I have who
has a rear end accident has at least 1 week off work for a sore neck. The reason? one was told that to "enhance" his claim you always get
more if you lost time of work, currently £3.5k per claim.
It is not just snow, also first aid. There have been claims when people have rendered first aid only to have a claim for broken ribs during a heart
CPR against them. It is shear lunacy

I seem to think it was on tv the other night that new law's had been passed to stop people claiming against people that had cleared snow off
paths etc
