Information about grit bins and salt heaps
Salt bins are located at critical locations to help residents salt nearby roads and footpaths. Road users can help themselves to the salt, to use on the road and footpaths, but they should not be used for private driveways or paths.
We provide salt heaps and bins for use on roads and footways in severe weather, but not for use on private property. Rock salt can be bought from most DIY or garden centres.
