The ice on the pavement outside our house and also round the corner beside Waitrose it absolutely awful, and I've walked past A&E twice int he last two days - it's standing room only. According to my friend who works in the hospital only 2 cases yesterday evening were unrelated to the ice. This tells us two things: firstly, the council should be doing more to make the pavements safer; secondly, people should stop thinking they are immune to the effects of ice and walk more carefully or not go out at all.
