Two chaps in a JCB as it goes.
It wasn't sweeping as much as moving / lifting the snowfall from the road surface in order to make it passable. The money was paid by some sort of residents thing which I found out we pay into.
By all accounts we did well to get their service as every housing development in the area were trying to get their services.
Local council weren't going to do fúck all and people needed to get out to work etc.
