Shame they were so busy, they could have nicked the bunch of yobs in Shoebury who were pelting cars with snowballs in Campfield Road.
Shame one of the little scumbags wasn't run over.

unfortunately as the roads never got gritted by the 'we can cope essex council' they could have gone to thousands more but the state of the roads prevented them.

It's not so bad if the kids only throw
snow.
It's not so good if there's lumps of ice
in the snow. It could do some
expensive damage

Not just kids they need to worry about but 15-18 year old louts who were "having fun" by pelting every passer-by and vehicle going along the main road towards Thundersley village.

I'm sure it would have been hilarious had some poor old lady got hit in the face or a driver flinched or swerved causing a serious accident.
