Putting Grit On Paths.

[Guest busdriver1]

The council in Rotherham have been very good, even to the point where a guy cam down our close and gritted all the footpaths and even peoples front paths. Cant fault them.

Council have been removing grit bins for ages, or only ever filling them once a year.

They fill them at the start of the winter and will replenish them if you tell them they are empty. Use this page to request filling. They do it pretty quickly when I report ours empty.

So why have they removed ours , The man in charge of gritting said in the Star newspaper there had never been one there . We sent him a photo ,  The councillors said they would get it put back two years ago , Its still not here , Its on a  old peoples estate as well as  invalids in local care . 

 

You will no doubt have a answer as per usual , all we know is that people are hurting them selves by sllpping and cars are. sliding on the hill .

Hmmm...

I don’t work for them and have never worked on the maintenance side of the organisation, so there is no reason I would get priority over anyone else.

We had a councillor living on our street and whenever we had snow it would get gritted. However, since the said councillor moved away this hasn't happened.

There was a grit bin on the street but i'm not sure if it's still there.

Why are you posting about it on here instead of doing something about it like making a formal complaint to the council?
 

It’s not difficult and you’ll get a response within a defined timescale.

 

Have you written to the councillors you spoke to and reminded them? You have 3 ward councillors. Write to all of them.

That grit bin map is really good, i am always grumbling that there are no bins around and it seems have walked past one many times without realising, it must be the yellow camouflage,  worried now for lollipop persons, perhaps a sign saying "free beer" might get my attention better.

I emailed all mine on the 22nd November regarding a separate issue.

 

Not one of them has replied. It is now the 15th December.
