There have been calls for increased gritting on pavements across Belfast following reports of children being injured while going to school.
South Belfast SDLP councillor Gary McKeown and Seamus De Faoite have called on the Department for Infrastructure to start gritting pavements in the city saying that it is only a matter of time before someone is seriously injured.
Concerns have been raised regarding the icy pavements by parents of children attending Holy Rosary St Bernard's and Knockbreda Primary Schools following a number of accidents outside of the schools.
