In the freezing weather, have you managed to get to your place of work/education...?
Nearly two-thirds of respondents had managed to get to their place of work/education every day during the freezing weather, with most making it in at least some of the time. The main reason people were unable to get to their place of work/education was due to icy roads (55%). Most of those not making it in to work were told either not to worry about it (34%) or work at home (35%).
Of those who didn’t make it into their place of work/education, most tried hard to do so, and tended to disapprove of those who didn’t try hard to make it in.
Thinking about food supplies during the cold weather, please select one of the following:
The cold weather did not cause too much disruption to food supplies, with most (72%) managing to get to the shop and get everything they need, or having enough supplies at home anyway. Few people stockpiled food, although some did buy a little more than they normally would do.
How well do you think the authorities have done in your area in keeping the roads and pavements gritted and passable?
There was a mixed response to how well the authorities had done in keeping the roads and pavements gritted and passable, with 63% saying that they think Britain should spend more on preparing for extreme weather, even though it happens rarely.
The performance of public transport was also fairly mixed, although a third said that there were only one or two cancellations. Schools also suffered, as most of those with children to care for found that their school/college was shut on one or more days.
