Suing a council is not going to help the roads or pavements get gritted. It might help you but it only hurts everyone else. If you can see it in yourself to not do it, then I'd urge you to go that way.
The threat of suing might be useful to get them to do something meaningful about it but I'm not sure if council can be expected to grit all black ice throughout the borough
