TODAY the Lancashire Telegraph launches Grit Watch — a campaign urging YOU to tell us if your roads are being gritted properly.

After previous years of winter chaos the Lancashire Telegraph is aiming to put authorities on the spot, to hold them accountable.

But to do this we need you to be our eyes and ears.

The Lancashire Telegraph’s website has launched a Grit Watch section for the whole of the winter where we will publish your comments and pictures.

And we will also be publishing your views in the paper.

Authorities have pledged to keep the motorways and A-roads as well as other key routes clear.

Residential areas rely on grit bins, which bosses have said will be topped up throughout the winter.

Therefore we want you to highlight to us where things are not working.

This could be a main road that is treacherous or a grit bin that is left empty, leaving community roads like ice rinks.

The Lancashire Telegraph will then highlight the cases with the authorities and seek to get an explanation or action.
