Just because CCBC didn't grit the road. As it's a known black spot every time it freezes, I wonder if it would be feasible to bring a Civil action against them for negligence.

Me too Steve and that structural damage wasn't the first time that that property was hit by a vehicle

If coping with icy conditions wasn't bad enough,  you get this motorist driving the wrong way down the  A55  -

Today's "Headline News' on BBC was 'Heavy snow sweeps across Britain', which demonstrated the BBC's Southerly bias all too clearly. The main snowfall didn't even make it up here, yesterday, and the depths reported in the worst hit areas were only two or three inches.  So it was neither 'heavy' nor 'sweeping across Britain', other than in the most generous interpretation.

It continues to irritate that the BBC judges news importance according to its geographical location.

You are quite correct in what you say Ian, but I'm glad in this instance that they are wrong about the snow in this area as I've dug out my drive and a neighbours 4 times already this week.
The north & south divide does exist even here in Wales and it's quite annoying at times

Road improvements will start 18th February until 22nd March at Asda Crossroads, Conwy Road, Llandudno. They will be widening the road in front of the Fire/Ambulance station & also widening the pedestrian crossing. The right turn at the traffic lights from the retail park into Asda will be removed. Improvements are being made to the crossroads on Conwy Road to make it safer for pedestrians & to speed up the traffic light sequence.

There is a four way traffic light system in place in Kinmel Bay at the moment and Mrs H was travelling from Rhyl  this week when she had to stop at the lights.
She noticed some "amber gamblers"  while the other lights were changing so when it was her turn to move off she waited for the green light to come on then she moved off.
About half way across another motorist from a different direction nearly rammed into her car, only managing to come to a stop inches from her door.
He had obviously come through the lights while they were on red, thankfully no one was hurt or the vehicles damaged but it could easily have been so different
If anyone else is going in that direction please proceed with caution as there are nutters on the road
