Liberal Democrat councillors have been left asking who is telling the truth on the grit situation following misleading statements. One statement from the county council's portfolio holder for roads which has been contrasted by a briefing sent to all County Councillors from the council officers doing their jobs, without the political spin.

Tory-run Hertfordshire County Council has today admitted that it can only go out and grit the roads 6 more times this year. That is the equivalent to 2 nights' gritting - as they admit in their own press releases.

Earlier this year we had travel chaos as the snow fell and roads were left ungritted. We are already getting reports of the gritters not being able to get over bridges and leaving whole villages ungritted.

Hertfordshire Liberal Democrats are very pleased their nagging earlier this year at the County Council to make their website informative and and responsive to extreme weather conditions has finally paid off. The new system introduced for the first time today is a step in the right direction. Unfortunately with nearly 500 schools if you have a child at Beechfield and another at Westfield, both in Watford, it is quite hard to tell if they are open or closed.

A change in policy by the Tory-run County Council will leave people buying new build houses feeling like they need the trading standards department. The county council has changed its policy on the adoption of roads on new build estates so that in future it will no longer adopt no through roads and cul de sacs. This change will leave home buyers, who will pay at least 70% of the council tax to the county council, with a future headache when their road develops pot holes or faults: they, with their neighbours, will have to foot the bill.

"I hate to say it, but only one party leader seems to have grasped that, if you construct a system where unskilled people are worse off by taking a job than by staying on welfare, they remain trapped in poverty - and that is Nick Clegg. "
Lord Norman Tebbit

"It's unbelievable that the Tories are still planning to cut taxes for a handful of millionaires when the majority of people across the country are feeling the squeeze. We need fair tax cuts that put money back in the pockets of ordinary people. The Tory sums simply do not stack up. It is irresponsible and highly misleading for George Osborne to continue to pretend that they do. "
