Formby: road accident by the Grapes Hotel

A black Ford car was involved in a road accident this morning in Formby. This happened shortly before 9.00 am at the roundabout of Church Road and Piercefield Road, near to the Grapes Hotel.

The vehicle sustained significant damage to side panels and doors. It is not yet known what actually caused the accident or if any other vehicles were involved. Emergency services attended the scene.

Has your road been properly gritted? 

Claims were made recently by angry motorists that some roads in Formby and Southport have not been gritted.

Back in December 2010, Sefton Council came under fire from many local sources for not keeping pace with essential gritting. 

At that time Southport MP John Pugh stated: “The council has a story to tell about the gritting but even tolerant and reasonable residents have reacted with a degree of incredulity.” 

Drivers are advised to take extra care on the roads now, with subzero temperatures making some icy stretches particularly dangerous.
