In research for this project I contacted Bournemouth and Poole Councils to see how the road conditions had changed locally to see what statistics I could find there.
The person that contacted me back said that there had been extreme changes in the conditions but they were hard to quantify, however they did state:
'In Poole we have compared our works requests for carriageway repairs for different years and months and note an approximate increase of 100% for last February (2009) and this January (2010) than for "normal" winter conditions. These were the two months when particularly adverse icy conditions existed on the network'
I have now arranged a meeting so will hopefully find out some more information.
