Council denies gravel risk

Yet again i’ve had to ring my local council (South Derbyshire Council) about the state of the roads in my area.

I brought my new Fireblade home from the dealers a few weeks ago, and on the last turn home, I nearly slid off due to ridiculous amounts of gravel from last time they renewed the road surface.

Two weeks later when I ring up to ask why they have not cleared it up I am told, “The inspector has been to visit the area and says that it is excess salt of the winter spreaders, and that you will need to drive to suit the conditions” Where do I stand if the unthinkable happens and i came off my bike in the time it takes to sort this matter out?
