"People pay council tax and they shouldn't have to do gritting and salting for the council," said Cllr Cromie, whose Queensbury ward is one of the highest in the county and often hit hard by wintry weather.
Once, this would have been something people did as a matter of course. Now, they have to be begged to do it?
A spokesman said: "In ice or light snow flurries, Bradford will grit a 720 mile route around the district with special attention paid to the highest and most treacherous areas.
"This does not include minor roads in estates, suburbs and villages, which will only get done in times of very severe weather when the main roads are clear and the weather improves."
