As I said in a earlier post, Bromley Council gritted many roads last night.
It's only money...tax payers money.

The roads were presumably wet, and it was surely not unreasonable to
fear that there might be a touch of frost later in the night to make
them icy. There was certainly a little frost in well-sheltered spots
here (Cranleigh, Surrey) this morning.
