Title: KE Aston School Car Park NOT open tonight
Post by: Walmley_Villa on January 22, 2013, 09:02:31 AM: Hi folks, unfortunately the car park will not be open tonight as the playgrounds are covered in snow and the local roads have not been gritted and are like ice rinks.

Thanks

Took me double the usual amount of time to get into town today from Sutton Coldfield. Tyburn Road past Gravelly Park particularly crawling.

Anyone know what local trains were running like yesterday evening rush hour, any delays?

That'll be my wife!!! The last time the snow was bad I parked at Star City and walked - fair trek but in and out easy enough.

This has only happened once before and unfortunately although the school is open they have only cleared a few spaces for teachers. In the future Villa have offered to grit but that is not applicable tonight.

Hi Lee - I am sure that Villa will have gritted/cleared the snow as they control that car park.
