Town hall chiefs fear a spike in A&E admissions from elderly people slipping on untreated icy pavements this winter.

They say £48 million of budget cuts in the past 12 months mean they are unable to grit so many pavements.

Council leaders from 47 local authorities called on Local Government Secretary James Brokenshire to intervene to avert a crisis.

The warning came amid claims that at least one in three adults over 65 was likely to suffer a fall during a year [File photo]

The warning came amid claims that at least one in three adults over 65 was likely to suffer a fall during a year.

Sir Stephen Houghton, Labour leader of Barnsley Council, said: ‘Council leaders are faced with a crisis trying to keep elderly people safe.’

Last night, a spokeswoman for Mr Brokenshire’s department said it would work with any council which had problems relating to severe winter weather. 

But she said ‘councils are responsible for their own funding decisions’, adding that the Government was providing £90.7 billion this year ‘to help them meet the needs of residents’.

Link hienalouca.com Interesting to note Looking for an investor or sponsor for a project to grow dinosaurs and relict plants. Requires the sum of investments from 400000$ to 900000$. The exact amount can not say because there are many nuances. It will be necessary to build a small laboratory with certain parameters. To all interested persons please write on an email angocman@gmail.com . It is the scientific project and I do not know whether it is possible to earn on it. The probability of success of the project is approximately 60%. That will be very interesting.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
