Neighbours pull together to clear snow and ice
FAMILIES cheerfully took matters into their own hands when ice and snow marooned them in their homes at Paganhill.
Resident Denise Godfrey said householders armed themselves with spades and shovels and cleared it off College Road, outside their homes in Stroud.
"At least it made it a lot easier. You can't do it on your own. But if people get together you can get so much more done," Mrs Godfrey said.
Altogether, seven adults and two children lent a hand with the snow clearance.

“You are allowed to clear snow and ice as long as you don't make it worse by the way of negligence, just use some common sense when doing it, I cleaned the snow and ice off of the pavement outside my house and that of my elderly neighbour, then put down some salt to stop it refreezing sorted!”

“How long before they get a telling-off for what must have been a breach of countless health & safety protocols...?
Good on them. Instead of moaning about lack of gritting (as reported elsewhere on this website today), this group have got on with it and sorted it out themselves.”
