SIR - In the early afternoon of Monday, February 2, when leaving the car park of Morrisons in Bideford, I was surprised to see a Devon County Council Highways lorry gritting the car park.The very next day driving through Appledore was not an option due to the snow and the complete lack of grit on the roads.This begs the question as to why a private car park has rights over public roads.Any answers, anyone?A R Harrison, Appledore.
